The Water Pump is an OEM component compatible with Whirlpool front-loading washing machines. As an important internal component, this pump circulates water to flush away dirt and debris during wash cycles. It works in conjunction with the wash arm and impeller to properly distribute cleaning water.
Symptoms of a bad water pump can include:
Ineffective or inadequate washing even on high water level settings
Abnormal noises or vibrations coming from inside the machine
Water failing to enter or drain from the tub as it should
Leaks developing inside the washer cabinet
Causes such as mineral buildup on pump components, worn seals or bearings, and damage from foreign objects can impair proper pump operation over time.
This OEM Whirlpool part works to ensure wash water is properly circulated and soil is sufficiently flushed away with each cycle. It is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
