Whirlpool WP34001320 Washer Drain Pump

The Whirlpool WP34001320 is an essential part of your washing machine, specifically the drain pump. This pump's purpose is to remove wastewater from your washer after the cleaning cycle is over. This works by using an impeller that spins quickly when activated, forcing used water out of the washer via a hose and into the drain. The drain pump, located underneath the washer panel, is critical for ensuring that your clothes are thoroughly rinsed and the washing machine is ready for the next load. A defective drain pump can show in a variety of ways, including lengthier wash cycles due to an inability to drain water, strange noises during operation, and even residual water left in the washer after a cycle.
