This Whirlpool Washer Drain Pump (280187) is a genuine part specifically engineered for Whirlpool washing machines, with compatibility extending to KitchenAid and Maytag models. Also known as an "electric centrifugal pump," its primary role is to expel spent water from the tub during various cycle points or in case of emergencies. By employing spinning impellers, this pump ensures the efficient flow of water while its intake filters out debris to prevent clogging and ensure smooth operation. Symptoms indicating the need for a replacement include low flow or leakage during the drain portion of the cycle, which suggests the pump may be faulting. For optimal operation, this assembly might include multiple parts, and it’s essential to refer to your device's parts diagram for a complete list. Before you make a purchase, check your washer's model number to ensure this part fits your appliance.
