Whirlpool Drain Pump Assembly (W10536347)

The Whirlpool Drain Pump Assembly moves used water out of the washer during drain and spin cycles. It draws water from the tub and pushes it through the drain hose to the household drain. A working pump helps the washer empty on time and reach full spin speed.

Drain pumps can fail when debris blocks the impeller or housing. Coins, buttons, lint, and small garments can jam the pump and strain the motor. Leaks can start if the housing cracks, the seal wears, or the pump was run while blocked. Electrical failure in the pump motor can also stop draining.

These symptoms can help you decide if the drain pump assembly is the source of the problem:

• Washer will not drain or drains very slowly
• Water left in the tub at the end of the cycle
• Washer stops mid-cycle during drain or spin
• Spin cycle will not start or will not reach full speed because water remains
• Unusual humming, grinding, or rattling noises during draining
• Water leaking from the pump area or from underneath the washer during drain
• Intermittent draining that gets worse over time
