Washing Machine Pump - 141896

The drain pump runs every time that the washing machine has to drain so, for the most common washes, it will drain the washing machine or washer dryer at least three or four times on every single wash.

Low-temperature washes and the constant use of liquid detergent will also lead to a build-up of a grey gunge or sludge in the pump which can block it and, it stinks!

Common faults and symptoms of a washing machine drain pump fault include:

• Washing machine noisy on draining:Pump bearings faulty, something stuck in the pump
• Screeching noise on drain:Something stuck in the pump, sand/grit in the magnetic types (this can also be reported as a screeching noise on spin as the washing machine drain pump runs whilst the washer is spinning)
• Washing machine not draining:Pump blocked or faulty

Whilst most manufacturers will advise that you clean the drain pump filter after every wash we realise that this is impractical in the real world and so we would advise that you clear it every month when you do a maintenance wash.

This helps to keep the washing machine drain pump clear of any detritus and will most likely extend the life of the drain pump.
