Description
What is the purpose of a Washing Machine Drain Pump?
The drain pump is an electric motor usually fitted inside the base of your Washing Machine. Once your washing machine has completed the washing process the drain pump is activated from the appliance programmer.
This in turn switches on the pump to drain away the dirty soiled water from washing your clothes.
The next part of the washing machine cycle is rinse the clothes. The machine will fill and rotate around 3-5 times, using the pump to pump out the soiled water each time. On the final rinse a softener can be added. this is usually added at the beginning of the cycle and added to the final rinse automatically. The final rinse is followed by the Final spin cycle, where again the washing machine pump is called into action, running constantly throughout the final spin
Occasionally the pump may malfunction. This could be for many reasons. Below are a list of reasons for failure.
1. Using too much detergent at the start causing too many suds.
2. leaving items in your garment pockets such as coins, screws, credit cards etc etc – the list is endless.
3. Kinking the drain pipe when installing your machine.
4. Foreign objects getting inside pump and damaging the impeller
5. Wear and tear, eventually the pump will fail.
Often the pump may still be functioning but at reduced affect due to loose impeller, blockages etc. The pump is protected often with a filter housing which you can remove to clean away foreign objects such as described earlier, coins screws socks,etc etc.
