Whirlpool WP35-6465 Genuine OEM Top Load Washer Drain Pump

This Top Load Washer Drain Pump removes wastewater from your top-load washer during the drain portion of the wash cycle. The pump is driven by the main drive belt, which also drives the transmission pulley. If your washer doesn’t drain properly, the pump may be clogged, damaged, or defective, and replacing it may alleviate these issues. Note that a defective pump may also cause a small leak to occur at the front of the washer. To access the pump, you'll need to remove the cabinet from the washer. The pump is attached to the drive motor. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver, putty knife, pliers, and a socket with a ratchet. It also involves some disassembly of the appliance and requires novice repair experience. Before installing this high-quality and easy-to-install replacement part, remember to unplug the washer or shut off the household circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make to turn off the hot and cold water supplies. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10135699) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
