4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to replace the water drain pump in your Kenmore 110.24872300 washer.

1. Prepare the Washer:
   • Unplug the washer from the electrical outlet.
   • Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves.
   • Pull the washer away from the wall to access the rear.
   • Place towels on the floor to catch any residual water.
2. Access the Pump:
   • Depending on your specific washer configuration, you may need to remove the front panel, rear panel, or tilt the washer back to access the drain pump located at the bottom. Consult your washer's original service manual if unsure.
   • Locate the drain pump assembly.
3. Disconnect Hoses and Wiring:
   • Use pliers to release the clamps securing the inlet and outlet hoses to the old drain pump.
   • Carefully detach both hoses. Be prepared for some water to spill.
   • Disconnect the electrical wiring harness from the pump motor. Note the orientation for reassembly.
4. Remove Old Pump:
   • Unscrew any mounting screws or release clips that secure the drain pump to the washer frame.
   • Remove the old drain pump.
5. Install New Pump:
   • Position the new Fricpart-054935 drain pump in the same location as the old one.
   • Secure it with the mounting screws or clips.
   • Reconnect the electrical wiring harness to the new pump.
   • Attach the inlet and outlet hoses to the corresponding ports on the new pump, securing them with the hose clamps. Ensure clamps are tight to prevent leaks.
6. Test and Reassemble:
   • Before fully reassembling the washer, reconnect the water supply and plug in the power cord.
   • Run a short drain/spin cycle to check for leaks and proper pump operation.
   • If no issues are detected, turn off the water, unplug the washer, and reattach any panels removed during the process.
   • Push the washer back into its original position.

5. Operating Instructions (Post-Installation)

Once the Fricpart-054935 drain pump is correctly installed, your Kenmore 110.24872300 washer should resume normal operation. The drain pump functions automatically during the wash cycle to remove water from the tub. No specific user interaction with the pump itself is required.

If the washer fails to drain or makes unusual noises after installation, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

6. Maintenance

The drain pump itself is generally maintenance-free. However, regular maintenance of your washing machine can help prevent future drain pump issues:

• Clean the Lint Filter: Many washers have a small filter near the drain pump that can collect lint and small objects. Refer to your washer's original manual for its location and cleaning instructions.
• Avoid Overloading: Overloading the washer can strain the pump and other components.
• Check Hoses: Periodically inspect drain hoses for kinks, blockages, or damage.
• Use Proper Detergent: Use only high-efficiency (HE) detergent in HE washers to prevent excessive suds that can hinder draining.

7. Troubleshooting

If your washer experiences draining issues after installing the new pump, consider the following:

• Washer Not Draining:
  • Check Power: Ensure the washer is plugged in and receiving power.
  • Hose Kinks: Inspect the drain hose for any kinks or blockages.
  • Pump Obstruction: Small items (coins, socks) can get past the filter and jam the pump impeller. Disconnect power and water, then inspect the pump's inlet for obstructions.
  • Improper Installation: Review the installation steps to ensure all connections are secure and wiring is correct.
• Unusual Noises During Drain Cycle:
  • Foreign Objects: A rattling or grinding noise often indicates a foreign object caught in the pump impeller. Follow safety steps to inspect and remove.
  • Loose Mounting: Ensure the pump is securely mounted to the washer frame.
• Leaking:
  • Hose Clamps: Verify that all hose clamps are properly tightened at both the pump and the washer connections.
  • Damaged Hoses: Inspect hoses for cracks or tears.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, professional assistance may be required.
