water pump failed
Pump started making noises like ball bearings grinding. took the lower front cover off pulled the strainer out of the pump housing and found $2.55 in nickles dimes and quarters. Some 223 bullets and about 20 bobby pins. Together they had destroyed the impeller, so ordering a new one and installing it did the trick. Easy installation about 15mins.

Replaced Drain Pump on Whirlpool HE Duet Sport Washer
This do it yourself repair saved me the cost of a repair man's service call plus time to put it in. 1. First of all, make sure the unit is unplugged. On this type of front loading washer you will need to remove the bottom panel, which is secured by 3 nut screws. 2. Once the panel is removed you will need to use pliers to unscrew the drain plug and allow for excess water to drain out before removing the drain pump (get a pan or something that will fit underneath the drain). This is the area in which all the loose stuff, like coins and everything else falling out of pockets, gets trapped. The trap works well and needs to be checked periodically or if left unchecked it will probably be the cause of burning up the drain pump. 3. Once the water is drained you will need to use pliers to unsecure the two hoses attached to the drain pump. The pliers will pinch the wire clamps open and you can remove the hose easily. 4. The dryer is stacked on top of my washer and in order to get to the two screws holding the drain pump I needed to put a block of wood under the washer to give myself room to get a wrench to the screws. Once the dryer and washer were unloaded and nothing on top I was able to lift the washer and slide a block of wood underneath. 5. The pump has a power supply on the right hand side (a small white box with a wire attached) Remove the wire by gently pulling on the end of it. It is a plug type end. 6. Using a wrench (or socket driver) I took out the two screws (about an 1.5"). The drain pump slides to the right and out it comes. It is also secured by two rubber seals which are easy to remove as well as to install. 7. Now all you do is work backwards, installing the new drain pump by sliding the seals in place and wrenching the screws back in to hold the drain pump, followed by putting the two hoses back on with the pliers and placing the wire back into the power supply box on the drain. I would recommend anyone being able to do this on their own or at least with another person to help with a bit of lifting. The only way I knew to replace this part was because it was making all the noise, so it doesn't take much rocket science :)

Water leak under machine caused by cracked drain pump
Turn of the electrical power to the machine. I took off the cover on the machine below the door. You had to use phillips screwdriver to get the three screws out. In order to replace the pump I had to lift the washing machine about three inches up slightly over to one side (needed a strong person to lift as there was a dryer on top of it). The old pump has to be removed with a nutdriver as there are two nuts holding the pump in place under the machine ( I had to run out to the hardware store to buy a smaller one to fit under the machine as the big wrench was to big to fit under the machine). I unplugged the electrical connection to the pump. I unclamped the hoses attached to the pump using a plier, make sure you have something to hold water that will drain from the hose. I then push/pull the old pump to the right out of its place, it is attached to the metal at the bottom of the machine. I put in the new pump and tighten the screws on the bottom (this is the tricky part as you cannot see - a mirror may help). I also reattached the hoses and electrical connection. I turned on the machine to rinse to make sure there were no leaks before putting back the cover. Before throwing out the old pump, you can shake it and look in the opening of the old pump for any valuables left in pockets that may have washed out. I found a 18k bracelet, 25 cents and a small screw which may have caused the hole in the pump . Good luck :)

I purchased the machine from a Scratch and Dent Place
The water pump housing was leaking due to some pre-existing damage and leaking on the floor. The repairman wanted 60.00 just to show up. I purchased a replacement pump from PartsSelect.com and installed it myself by taking off the bottom front panel (two screws on the bottom and unclamping the two hoses from the pump and the two screws holding the pump to the frame and then unsnapping the wiring coupler from the old pump. I pulled the old pump out through the front of the machine. I then installed the new pump and replaced the front cover. I saved myself a lot of money and everything went smoothly! The machine works great.

Leak in the pump housing from cracked plastic
Removed the old pump and installed the new one. Most difficulty came from the fact that the dryer is on top of the washer and the washer is inside a plastic pan that has a 2 inch lip which made it difficult to remover the front panel.

Code#f9e1
PartSelect logo
Hi Samuel, Thank you for your question. The F9 E1 error code is referring to a long drain. If the drain exceeds 8 minutes, the valves will turn off and the pump will stop running. If too much soap was used, the excess suds can cause this code to appear. You should also check to see if the drain hose is blocked or has a kink in it. Make sure the drain hose is not sealed into the drain pipe. Make sure the drain hose does not exceed 96 inches. Make sure that their is no debris in the drain pump. Check to make sure the pressure hose is not pinched, kinked, plugged or leaking air. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I keep getting codes f21 and sd . Drain hose are not in a bind and not extra suds. Can you give me any idea? Most often the f 21 code. Thanks Kenny
For model number WFW8410SW01
PartSelect logo
Hi Kenny, Thank you for the question. F21 means the washing machine has a water draining issue. The drain pump itself, or the drain hose is clogged. Since the hose is good, I suggest checking the drain pump, if the pump is not clogged you may need to have it replaced. At times suds can build up in the pump and the machine finds it really hard to clear them out. You may need to remove it and clean it out manually. Also make sure you are using the correct type of detergent in the correct amounts. Hope this helps!

Hi Sheila, Thank you for your question. If the washer is only spinning once and then stops, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which ones are causing the issue. You will need to check the drain pump, the drive belt, and the door lock latch. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Has anybody had the impeller fall off .Got a new pump assembly washed 2 loads of clothes when it wouldn't pump again do to impeller loose
For model number wpw 10730972
PartSelect logo
Hi April, Thank you for your question. Yes, sometimes they do break off. Before checking to see if they are broken, unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet and pull it out from the wall. To verify if they are broken, put your finger into the drain outlet and feel the impellers if the pump freely turns. One or more of them may be broken. If so, you'll be able to feel them while you are turning the pump flywheel with your other hand. You also may see broken pieces of plastic in the bottom of the pump housing. There is a video on our website that you can reference on how to remove and install a washing machine drain pump so you can check the impellers. The washing machine may not show exactly like the one you have and the pump may be different, but it will give you a general idea on how to install the part. You will find the video under part number PS11757304. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello Bill, thank you for your question. You may want to remove the pump to be sure there are no blockages. The pump will get warm but shouldn't be hot to the touch. I hope this helps!

Hi Jesus, Thank you for your question. If you have replaced the pump and the water is still not pumping out, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which ones are causing the issue. You will need to check the temperature sensor, the trap and the water level pressure switch. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
