- Prepare the Washer: Disconnect the washing machine from the electrical outlet and turn off the water supply. Move the washer away from the wall to access the rear or bottom panel.
- Drain Residual Water: Place towels on the floor and use a shallow pan to catch any remaining water from the drain hose. Disconnect the drain hose from the standpipe or utility sink.
- Access the Pump: Depending on your washer model, you may need to remove the front panel, rear panel, or tilt the washer back to access the drain pump located at the bottom of the unit.
- Disconnect Hoses and Wiring: Carefully disconnect the inlet and outlet hoses from the old drain pump. Be prepared for some water spillage. Disconnect the electrical wiring harness from the pump motor.
- Remove Old Pump: Unmount the old drain pump from its housing or base. This usually involves unscrewing it or releasing clips.
- Install New Pump: Position the new Owigift drain pump in the same location as the old one. Secure it with screws or clips.
- Reconnect Hoses and Wiring: Attach the inlet and outlet hoses to the new pump, ensuring they are securely clamped to prevent leaks. Reconnect the electrical wiring harness to the pump motor.
- Reassemble Washer: Reattach any panels removed during the process.
- Test the Washer: Restore the water supply and plug the washing machine back into the electrical outlet. Run a short drain cycle or a small wash cycle to check for proper drainage and any leaks.
Operating Instructions
Once the Owigift Washer Drain Pump is correctly installed, its operation is integrated with your washing machine's normal cycles. The pump will activate automatically during the drain phase of any wash or rinse cycle to remove water from the tub.
- Ensure the drain hose is properly positioned and not kinked or obstructed.
- Verify that the washing machine's filter (if applicable and accessible) is clean to prevent blockages that could impede pump function.
- Listen for normal operating sounds during the drain cycle. Unusual noises may indicate an issue.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance can extend the life of your drain pump and prevent drainage issues.
- Check for Obstructions: Periodically inspect the drain pump filter (if your washer has one) for lint, coins, or other small objects that can clog the pump and prevent proper drainage. Clean the filter as per your washing machine's user manual.
- Inspect Hoses: Check the drain hoses connected to the pump for any signs of kinks, cracks, or blockages. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
- Listen for Unusual Noises: If the pump starts making excessive noise, it could indicate a foreign object inside or a worn component. Address such issues promptly.
