Replacing the drain pump on a Whirlpool Duet front load washing machine, such as the Model WFW86HEBW, is relatively straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

1. Start by unplugging the washing machine from the power source to ensure your safety.

2. Locate the access panel on the bottom front of the washing machine. It is usually secured with screws. Use a screwdriver to remove these screws.

3. Once you have removed the access panel, you will see the drain pump assembly, typically a circular-shaped component. Take note of the position of the pump and any connections before proceeding.

4. Before detaching any wires or hoses, place a towel or small bucket under the pump assembly. This will help catch any water that may spill out during the process.

5. Disconnect the wires connected to the drain pump. Take a picture or make a note of how the wires are connected for easier reassembly.

6. Next, remove the hoses from the drain pump. Loosen any clamps and carefully detach the hoses. Again, it is essential to have the towel or bucket to catch any remaining water.

7. Once the electrical connections and hoses are disconnected, you can now remove the drain pump from the washing machine. This may require you to unscrew any mounting screws or brackets that hold the pump in place. Take your time and be gentle during this step.

8. With the old drain pump removed, you can now install the new one. Align it properly and secure it in place with the mounting screws or brackets.

9. Reattach the hoses, ensuring they are tight and secure. Also, reconnect the wires to the drain pump, matching them to their respective terminals based on the picture or notes you took earlier.

10. After everything is securely attached, double-check that all connections are tight and in their correct positions.

11. Replace the access panel by screwing it back into place.

12. Finally, plug the washing machine back into the power source. Once you've completed these steps, your new drain pump should be successfully installed. It's a good idea to run a quick test cycle to ensure everything is functioning properly.

Please note that while these instructions are generally applicable, it's always wise to consult your Whirlpool Duet model's specific manual for any manufacturer-recommended guidance or precautions.

I hope this is helpful? PLEASE "ACCEPT" and mark it "HELPFUL" to complement my little effort. Hope to bring you more detailed answers.

IntroductionGo to step 1

If your Whirlpool Duet Steam Washer's (MFW8740DW1) drain pump has gone out, then follow this easy six-step guide for the replacement procedure. The repair will take about 25-45 minutes to complete.

The drain pump forces water from the bottom of the washing machine to the drain hose. Drain pumps tend to fail over time due to mechanical or electrical failure. If water is getting trapped in the washer tub, then your drain pump needs to be replaced.

Always unplug washing machine before starting any repair.

Step 1 Drain PumpFor your own safety, be sure to unplug the washer before proceeding.
