Compatibility & Fitment

This drain pump is a primary component for many front-load and top-load washers manufactured by Electrolux. Key compatible brands and series include:

• Frigidaire: Fits a wide range of Affinity, Gallery, and standard front-load models (e.g., FAFW, FAFS, FTF series).
• Kenmore / Sears: Compatible with many 417-series front-load washers (e.g., 417.41122000, 417.48102701).
• Electrolux: Fits several IQ-Touch and Wave-Touch residential washing machines.
• Crosley, White-Westinghouse, & Gibson: Compatible with select units utilizing the 137 series pump configuration.

When to Replace

• Washer Not Draining: The machine stops mid-cycle with a tub full of water, or the motor hums but no water exits the drain hose.
• Loud Grinding Noise: A sharp rattling or grinding sound occurs during the drain phase, often caused by a damaged impeller or debris caught in the pump.
• Long Drain Times: The machine takes an unusually long time to empty, which can trigger "Long Drain" or "E21" error codes.
• Leaking Pump: Water is visible at the base of the machine near the pump housing, indicating a failed internal seal or cracked casing.
• Incomplete Spins: If the pump fails to remove water fast enough, the pressure switch will not allow the machine to enter high-speed spin.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply. Have a bucket and towels ready to catch the significant amount of water remaining in the tub and hoses.
• Accessing the Pump: On most front-load models, this pump is accessed by removing the front bottom toe panel or by tilting the washer back carefully.
• Hose Inspection: Check the large tub-to-pump bellows hose for coins, hairpins, or buttons that may have caused the original pump to fail.
• Clamp Security: Ensure the tension clamps on the inlet and outlet hoses are positioned correctly behind the hose barbs to prevent high-pressure leaks.
• Electrical Connection: Ensure the 2-pin wiring plug is pushed firmly onto the pump terminals until it clicks or seats fully to prevent arcing.
