Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Pump does not operate during drain
• Washer retains water or stops before completing the cycle
• Intermittent draining caused by damaged or loose lower-harness wiring
• Visible chafing, severed wires, pinched sections, or damaged connectors near the lower pump circuit

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspecting the harness.
• Visually inspect the lower harness routing for severed, pinched, chafed, or pulled wires, especially near the drain-pump area and the underside of the washer.
• Inspect harness connectors for loose engagement, bent terminals, corrosion, or visible heat damage.
• If appropriate test equipment and service documentation are available, check continuity of the affected circuit with power disconnected; do not use continuity testing on an energized appliance.
• Confirm that the drain pump itself and the pump hoses are not being mistaken for a harness fault.
