Drain Pump Replacement

The drain pump is an essential component of the washing machine. The main function of the pump is to remove the dirty water from the washing machine compartment at the end of the washing program. A drain pump malfunction can eventually cause the entire washing machine to stop working.

The drain pump is one of the most important parts of the entire system. In many popular brands, all the control units, including the pump, are placed in the bottom. The pump works on the principles of the magnetic rotor system and provides water distribution during washing. In the event of its failure, the whole process stops, and operation becomes impossible.

For this reason, care of the drain pump is particularly important. Before washing clothes, we strongly recommend that you take everything out of your pockets. Without periodic cleaning and diagnostics, the pump may become clogged with debris. The pump consists of paddles, a rotor, and stator. When a foreign object gets stuck in the blades, the rotor moves intermittently, and in some cases, the object is removed on its own. The main signs of pump malfunction are:

• Repeated cancellation of the preset program;
  
• A loud buzzing noise during water intake and removal;
  
• Reduction in the volume of water supplied;
  
• Systematic failures and incorrect operation of the machine.

If you encounter these signals, be sure to check the drain pump and filter. Drain pump replacement is not the easiest procedure. The drain pump is involved in almost every mode of operation of the washing machine. Both cold and hot water passes through the drain pump with a mixture of different chemical solutions, which, over time, affects its operation. In either case, it is necessary to call a professional technician to identify and fix the problem.

Where is the drain pump in the washing machine?

To do this, you do not even have to change the location of the household appliance, it will be enough just to move it away from the wall. It is more difficult to get to the internal parts in Bosch and Miele machines. All the control elements of these brands are behind the front panel. To dismantle it, it is necessary to remove the loading hatch, which requires technical expertise.
