How do I know if my drain pump is bad?

Common signs include the washer not draining, water remaining in the tub, or a loud grinding noise during the drain cycle. You might also see error codes related to draining on your washer's display.

Can I clean my drain pump instead of replacing it?

Sometimes, a drain pump can be clogged by foreign objects like coins or lint. It's often worth checking for and clearing any obstructions before deciding on a full replacement. If the motor is faulty, cleaning won't help.

What causes a drain pump to fail?

Drain pumps can fail due to normal wear and tear over time, electrical issues, or physical damage from foreign objects getting past the filter. Excessive use or frequent overloading of the washer can also contribute to premature failure.
