KitchenAid Washer Parts Pump

This Direct Drive Washer Drain Pump removes water from the appliance during the drain portion of the cleaning cycle. This model is for beltless direct-drive washers and has 2 ...large ports with a backflow flapper valve. If the washer will fill and drain the water from the tub, but doesn't agitate or spin properly, replacing this part may alleviate these issues. To replace the part, remove the washer console and disconnect the lid switch to access the old part. Remove the body from the frame of the washer by tilting at a 45-degree angle and lifting it off. Place towels down to catch any water from the hoses when removed. The new pump should slide on easily –don't force it on. If you feel resistance when sliding the pump onto the shaft, you may need to remove any shaft residue left from the previous pump. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the appliance and novice repair experience. You must unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker before installing this part. Also make sure you turn off the hot and cold water supplies. Recommended Item: Also consider replacing the washer drive motor coupler (item 285753A) at the same time you complete this repair. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10135699) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.Part Specification• This product is a Factory Certified Part.
