- Test Operation: Reconnect the washer to the power supply and turn on the water. Run a short drain/spin cycle to check for proper operation and any leaks.
Operating Principles
The water drain pump is an integral component of your washing machine's drainage system. During the wash and rinse cycles, once the water needs to be expelled from the tub, the washer's control system activates the drain pump. The pump then draws water from the washer tub and forces it through the drain hose, effectively emptying the machine. Proper functioning of this pump ensures that water is removed efficiently, allowing the spin cycle to effectively remove moisture from your laundry.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and efficient operation of your drain pump, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically check the washer's drain filter (if accessible and present in your model) for lint, coins, or other debris that could obstruct the pump.
- Avoid Overloading: Overloading the washer can put undue stress on the pump and other components.
- Inspect Hoses: Occasionally inspect the drain hoses for kinks, blockages, or damage that could impede water flow.
