Parts That Fix Whirlpool Washer WTW8500DC1 Will not drain

This drain pump is specially designed to fit in top load washing machines. It is responsible for removing water from the washer tub during the drain cycle and directing it to the household plumbing system through the drain hose. If you notice longer draining times, grinding or rattling sounds, or standing water in the tub at the end of a cycle, the drain pump is likely faulty. This may be due to several reasons such as normal aging, wiring problems or physical damage. It is also common for the drain pump to become clogged with small items such as coins or buttons.

The hose clamp is used to hold the water hose in place which will prevent the hose from leaking water. Sometimes the clamp may lose its ability to latch on, causing a leaking washer. For the installation, you will need a flat head screw driver to replace the clamp and a drill to access the screws to remove the front of the washer. Be careful if you do not have specific clamp pliers as the clamp could fly off. Once the front of the washer has been removed, take a quick look for water damage or any obvious signs of where the leak is coming from. If it is not obvious, run water to test.
