Whirlpool Drain Pump WPW10409079 OEM Part

Drain Pump Assembly for Washing Machines

This drain pump is an authentic OEM component crafted specifically for top-loading washing machines produced by Whirlpool. It is suitable for an array of models from brands affiliated with Whirlpool, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Compatibility extends to select models from Sears-Kenmore and Ikea as well.

Situated near the lower center of the washing machine, the drain pump serves the essential function of removing water from the tub at the end of each washing cycle. The impeller, propelled by the pump’s motor, efficiently directs water through the drain hose.

Failures in the pump may commonly arise due to obstructions caused by mineral buildup or fabric fibers entangling the components. Continuous operation can also result in excessive heating of the motor windings, with the risk of burnout.

Signs indicating a drain pump issue include:

- Retained water in the tub once the cycle concludes
- Water accumulation or unexpected leaks around the machine during drainage
- Atypical grinding or screeching noises during use

This replacement part restores the effective water drainage functionality of your washing machine, compatible across a variety of models under Whirlpool and its associated brands.
