Whirlpool Drain Pump WPW10276397 OEM Part

The Whirlpool brand offers a diverse selection of products from notable names such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Whirlpool also produces products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. A crucial component within this lineup is the Whirlpool Drain Pump, an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement part designed to efficiently evacuate water from the washing machine during the draining phase. This pump activates once the spin cycle achieves a specific velocity, ensuring effective water removal. If a washer fails to drain, it may point to either a blockage or a malfunction within the pump itself, which operates on 120V 60Hz power.<br /><br />Replacing the pump can be achieved without accessing the washing machine's main body. Begin by shutting off the water supply and disconnecting the electrical power. Gently tilt the washing machine forward, placing it on a cushioned surface to prevent any damage. Proceed to disconnect the wiring harness from the pump motor, followed by removing the hose clamp and detaching the hose. Lastly, unscrew the three mounting screws to extract the pump assembly. Completing this replacement is crucial for preserving the operational efficiency and longevity of the washing machine.
