Common Symptoms
- Standing water remains in the washer after drain or spin.
- Drain cycle times out or produces a drain-related error.
- The washer makes unusual humming, grinding, or rattling noises during draining.
- Water flow from the drain hose is weak despite an unobstructed hose and filter.
Check Before Replacing
- Disconnect power before servicing and check the drain hose, pump filter, pump inlet, and connected hoses for visible obstructions.
- Run the washer’s model-specific diagnostic or drain test and observe whether the pump operates and water exits the drain hose.
- With power disconnected, inspect the pump wiring and connectors for loose, damaged, or corroded connections.
- If the applicable service documentation specifies a pump resistance test, compare the measured resistance with that model’s specification; an open circuit can indicate a failed pump, but a normal reading does not by itself prove the pump is good.
- If the pump and hoses appear clear, verify harness continuity and control output according to the washer’s model-specific service documentation before replacing the pump.
Pro Tip
Check for a blocked filter, hose, or pump inlet before condemning the pump; a clear path and proper electrical connections are necessary for reliable diagnosis.
