DC31-00054A Samsung Washer Drain Pump – Fix Your Washer That Won't Drain, Leaves Water in Tub, or Shows Error Codes

The DC31-00054A washer drain pump is a critical component that removes water from your Samsung washing machine during the drain and spin cycles.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if my drain pump is bad?
A: Common signs include water remaining in the tub after cycles, error codes (dE, 5E), loud humming or grinding noises during drain, or the washer stopping mid-cycle. If the pump doesn't hum at all during drain cycle, it's likely failed completely.

Q: What's the difference between OEM and XPart options?
A: OEM is the genuine Samsung factory part offering guaranteed compatibility. XPart is a premium aftermarket alternative that meets or exceeds OEM specs at a lower price. XPart Plus offers enhanced durability with upgraded components. All options are quality choices – select based on your budget and preferences.

Q: Will this pump fit my Samsung washer model?
A: Check the compatible models list above or verify your current pump's part number. If you have DC31-00054A or DC31-00016A, this is the correct replacement. You can also check your washer's model number against our compatibility list.

Q: Can I clean my old pump instead of replacing it?
A: You can try cleaning debris from the pump filter and impeller, but if the motor has failed or bearings are worn, replacement is necessary. If cleaning doesn't resolve the issue, the pump needs replacement.

Q: Is this a difficult DIY repair?
A: This is a moderate-level repair suitable for DIYers with basic mechanical skills. The main challenges are accessing the pump (requires removing panels) and dealing with residual water. If you're comfortable with basic appliance repairs, this is manageable in about an hour.
