W10130913 Washer Drain Pump Motor Assembly - Replacement for Whirlpool Kenmore Maytag Washer - Compatible with W10730972, 8540024, AP6023956, PS11757304

This drain pump was an exact match for the original pump on our Samsung washing machine. Installed easily and works perfect. Our machine is a little older and for the cost of this pump, I figured I would give it a shot. Saved us from getting a new washer. Very fast delivery.

arrived fast went in easy.. Thanks everyone

works good

This is a two part review. Here is part 1... I bought this to replace the factory brand drain pump on a Whirlpool Duet washing machine. It fits perfect in the slots on the washer bottom panel. Everything seemed good at first but the pump began to vibrate hard and to overheat and produced a melting plastic smell, which was disturbing considering the possible fire danger. Either the plastic walls of the motor are poor quality or the electrical coils in the drain pump motor have looseness, contact something where they shouldn't, or I don't know what exactly. So, I reopened the bottom of the washing machine, and saw that... the drain pump was still in its normal installed position (not deviated from install position), the 2 tubes from the washer drum and to the sewer connection pipe were attached strongly to the drain pump (no leaks), the electrical harness from control board to the drain pump connector was attached securely, and all seemed in order. Simultaneous to the bad plastic smells was the fact that sometimes the front door would not unlock at the end of a washing cycle. The washer completed the cycle to the last minute but then finally the door would not unlock. This annoyed us to no end. Now I will reorder the samew drain pump, and retry and give an update to this review after doing the re-replacement.Here is part two... The replacement part arrived very fast, and I reordered the same drain pump as the first pump. This second pump produced the plastic smell only slightly, and it seems to have gone away after a dozen or so cycles. The drain seems to function well, I can here it expelling the water just fine. The door unlocks at the correct time (at end of wash cycle) more frequently than the first pump. Unfortunately, it does not unlock correctly 100% of the time. So, I discovered a workaround... When the whirlpool duet reaches the end of the cycle, turn off the washer, switch the dial to Rinse & Drain, release the Extra Wash button, then press the Start button, wait a moment and door will unlock, grab at this chance to open the door. This drain pump earns a passing grade but not stellar, and the price cannot be beat, but I am guessing the OEM drain pump would send and relay the proper door unlock signal with more reliability. (But, OEM parts are pricier of course.)And now, part 3...It turns out that the MCU (motor control unit) was bad on my whirlpool duet washer. Arrrggh, it's only 6 years old. (my mom used her washer for 30+ years, and I replaced the drive belt on it ... once!) So i buy an off market one for $250 (not amazon seller, guess amazon doesn't sell those), and unsure if it will work or not because it is not an official OEM part. I swapped old for new and so far so good. So the solution may have been the MCU, not the drain pump. Thus, I raise this score to 4 stars.

Exact replacement for original pump, making for an easy trouble-free installation. Works perfectly.

Used the pump on my Maytag washer drain motor housing. Fit perfectly and allowed me to use the stock mounting position.

It works!

Was getting a few different error codes and washer wasn’t draining. Cleaned the filter and checked the hose. Still wouldn’t drain. Ultimately must’ve been the pump dying because I easily swapped it out for this piece and everything is back to normal. Couldn’t have been easier and for this price? Lifesaver
