Drain Pump - 120V 60Hz WP34001340

First I unplugged the washer and removed the back cover plate of the washer. I drained the pump and drainage lines. I then removed the two hose clamps and removed the connecting hoses. I removed the electrical connection. I loosened the three mounting bolts holding the mounting plate holding the pump. Once out, I could remove the pump from the plate and replaced it with the new part. I remounted the mounting plate, attached the hoses and clamps. I reattached the electrical connection and the back plate to the washer.


The Maytag is well designed and the parts are easy to reach. At least from this experience, the machine was designed with efficient repairs in mind. This is a sign of a well made machine.

First thing I did was to unplug the washer's power cord from wall outlet. Secondly I disconnected the hot and cold water hoses. You need to have a pan or bucket handy to catch any water once hoses are disconnected. Thirdly I removed the screws that secures the rear panel and removed panel to expose the pump at the bottom of the washer. I then disconnected the power cable going to the pump and removed the inlet and outlet hoses connected to the pump. You may need a set of pliers to remove the hose clamps if you don't have strong fingers. Note! you will need some rags or towels to soak up the water when you remove the drain hose that goes from the washer's tub to the pump inlet once the hose is disconnect. Once this is completed, I finally removed the 3 screws that secured the pump to the washer's frame and removed the faulty pump. Once pump is removed reinstall new pump in reverse. If you are handy with a screw driver and pliers this is an easy fix. Once pump was replaced the washer ran and drained fine. To avoid future damages to your pump always check clothes pockets for foreign objects prior to washing. The damage to my pump was caused by a quarter that got in the drain hose and damaged the pump's impeller. Be real careful not to cut yourself, because there are a few sharp edges on the washer's panel and frame when removing the pump. I hope my experience helps someone who may encounter the same problem.

Remove back cover 2 phillup screws,remove 3 13m bolts from pump bracket. Remove two clamps with fingers ,pull 2 hoses off ,pull pump out reverse process to install

The repair was very simple I also broke the door latch when this happen as well to get the water out of the drum. Both components were very simple to replace and took less than a hour. My order was deliver very promply even a day earlier than I expected. Everything was correct and the price was well below any price I could find in town or on any other web site. I hope I never need anything else for this equipment but if I do this will be my first choice for the parts purchase. Thanks, Jason Frost,Texas

Unplug the washer and remove the back cover plate of the washer. Have old towels and a small receptacle to catch water from the lines. Drain the pump and drainage lines. Remove the two hose clamps and remove the connecting hoses. Disconnect the electrical connection from the pump (small plug connection). Undo the three mounting bolts holding the mounting plate for the pump. Remove the pump from the plate and install the new part. Remount the mounting plate, attach the hoses and clamps. Reattach the electrical connection and the back plate to the washer. Plug that baby in and works like a champ!

A nickel made its way into the pump and broke all the impeller blades. Since impeller can't be replaced, I had to buy a whole new pump. Although the pump I ordered looked very similar to the original pump, the base did not match and could not be installed. I had to remove the pump cover which contains the mounting base from the old pump and install it on the new pump. That was quicker than returning the pump for replacement. The washer now drains properly and there are no leaks.

removed the pump, found a quarter lodged in it, noticed fins were completely wore down. Got the model number, went to PartSelect.com and ordered a new pump. The price was much lower than anywhere here in Washington plus the pump arrived in 2 business days (exactly what I paid for). I highly recommend Part Select ---I know I will be using them anytime I need an appliance part!

After watching some video on this site I managed to diagnose the problem as being a faulty pump. Ordered the part which to a bit longer to be delivered than I anticipated. Replacing the pump was easy but I had to do some adjustments. Had to take a piece of the old pump and replace the same piece on the new pump to be able to secure the pump on the mount. But once I've finished the reward was big.

Installed new pump but washer still would not identify pump. Isolated pump with it's own power line and time the wash cycle to plug in the pump and drain the washer, if I miss the timing it goes to a trouble code and I cut off the washer and back on to set to the" rinse and spin" cycle to complete the wash. Not the best but am retired, the washer was given to me from a friend, and it works.
