Things that can Damage to your Washer’s Drain Pump

This damaged drain pump is the result of an Allen wrench getting stuck in the pumps impeller. You wouldn’t think a wrench would wind up in a washer would you? Ha ha, Yes, it’s one of many items I find when disassembling appliances due to malfunctioning parts. I find .22 bullets, keys, necklaces, bracelets, etc -the list goes on. I don’t think there will every be an invention to keep these items from getting inside a washing-machine’s internal workings but there IS one thing that DOES work – check clothes pockets for items before loading them in your two-thousand dollar washer :-).
This washer drain pump has seen better days. The white part of the pump is called the impeller and as you can see it has one of the three blades broken and a chunk taken out of it’s base. We carry these pumps on our appliance repair service trucks so we can make quick work out of most repairs. So, if your washer is making noise and won’t drain – we can fix it.
