Possible Causes
Open drain pump winding, Loose pump connector, Failed control board drain relay
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Disconnect power before testing the pump.
- Check pump connector: Access the drain pump and ensure the electrical connector is fully seated and not corroded.
- Test pump resistance: Disconnect the pump and measure resistance across the terminals. An open circuit indicates a failed pump.
- Check for voltage (advanced): With caution and proper tools, verify that the control board sends voltage to the pump during drain. If no voltage and wiring is intact, the control board is likely faulty.
- Replace pump or board: Replace the failed component with the correct Whirlpool OEM part.
