The drain pump removes water from the washer tub during the drain and spin phases of each wash cycle. When the pump fails, the washer will not drain, will leave standing water in the tub, stop mid-cycle, display error codes F21, F33, or SD, or leak from the pump area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis complete assembly includes the motor, pump housing, and integrated filter — these components are only available as a complete assembly and are not sold separately.

Note: Whirlpool redesigned this pump — the replacement may look different from the original but fits and functions identically.

Place towels on the floor — residual water will drain when the pump is disconnected. The drain pump is accessed through the lower front panel of the washer. Remove the screws on the lower kick panel or snap panel to expose the pump access area. Before removing the pump, drain residual water by removing the coin trap\/filter cap from the filter housing (have a shallow pan ready — up to a quart of water may flow out). After draining, disconnect the pump wiring harness. Release the drain hose clamps and disconnect the hoses from the pump. Unscrew or unclip the pump mounting hardware and remove the old pump. Transfer the hoses and wiring to the new W10730972 pump, secure the mounting hardware, and reinstall the front panel. Restore power and water, run a drain\/spin cycle, and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, Torx screwdriver (T20 on some models), pliers, shallow pan, towels, work gloves.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eWhat do error codes F21, F33, and SD mean on Whirlpool Duet and Maytag washers?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eF21 indicates a long drain fault — the washer was unable to drain within the expected time (typically 8 minutes). F33 indicates a pump motor fault — the control board is not detecting the pump motor operating correctly. SD is a suds detection code that can also appear when drain issues prevent the suds from clearing properly. All three codes point toward the drain pump or a drain obstruction. Before replacing the pump, check and clean the coin trap filter — a clogged filter is one of the most common causes of F21 errors and clearing it often resolves the code without needing a new pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eShould I check the coin trap filter before replacing the pump?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eYes — always check the coin trap filter before replacing the pump. On Whirlpool Duet and Maytag front-load washers, the coin trap filter is located inside the lower front access panel, typically behind a small cap or cover. Removing the cap and clearing lint, coins, and debris from the filter restores drain flow and clears F21\/F33 errors in many cases without any part replacement needed. If the filter is clear and the pump still humbles or fails to drain, the pump needs replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eWhy does the replacement pump look different from the original?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eWhirlpool redesigned this drain pump assembly during its production lifecycle — the WPW10730972 replacement is physically larger than some of the older 8540024-series pumps it supersedes. Despite looking different, the redesigned pump uses the same hose and electrical connection points and is a direct fit in all compatible models.
