Cleaning the pump on a Whirlpool Duet

One thing that will shut a washer down quickly is when something is lodged in the pump. In a best case scenario, the blockage just prevents the flow of water and the machine will function correctly once the blockage is remove. Worst case scenarios involve the blockage moving down so that it binds the pump impeller which will often cause the pump motor to short out because it can’t move.

Before attempting any repair on an appliance, be sure that you fully understand the required steps and that you can safely and competently use all of the required tools. Only use replacement parts of the same size, specifications and capacity as your original manufacturer’s part.

In addition, be sure to pay very close attention to any and all safety cautions and warnings posted on the appliance being serviced. Understanding and adhering to these safety advisories can greatly reduce the risk of personal injury to yourself.

It is also always a good idea to have a first aid kit as well as a fire extinguisher on hand in case of emergencies, be sure you understand how to use both before starting. If you are unsure about any of the steps in the repair procedure, it is recommended you call your local appliance repair technician for your own safety.
