Washing Machine Drain Pump – Part Number: 4681EA2001T
$58.42
In Stock
Washing Machine Drain Pump
★★★★★
★★★★★
(315)
Part #4681EA2001T
The drain pump and motor assembly may also be known as the washer drain pump and is a part for your washer. The drain pump helps expel water from the washing machine. The drain pump is activated after the spin cycle speed is maintained for a specific period of time. To make this installation you will need a Phillips screwdriver, a small flat-blade screwdriver, a pair of needle-nose pliers, and a pair of slip-joint pliers. Note that the pump casing is not included. This medium-difficulty repair may vary, but can generally be started by disconnecting power, then removing the top of the washer by taking out the four back screws and two small brackets. Then, remove the front panel by taking out the two screws and eight tabs that should be taken from the top. Moving down the front of the washer, remove the door, latch, tub gasket, and drain cover. Disconnect the drain hoses and clip from under the drain assembly, and install new assembly from there. Reassemble parts in direct reverse order -- taking photos during disassembly and keeping parts clearly organized can help here. Despite the number of steps, you will only need a standard Phillips screwdriver to complete this repair.

★★★★★
★★★★★
(29)
Part #EBF49827801
The door lock assembly is a part for your washing machine and tells the washer that the door is closed and locked into place. If the switch has shorted out and not locking, it is no longer delivering the message to the machine and it will not latch into place. If you find that your door will not close, open, or start, it is more than likely an issue with the locker switch assembly. The switch is located behind the front panel. You will need to remove the gasket to reach the switch.

Johnny - For model number 79640272900
January 22, 2023
When I turn the washer on and start the cycle it makes a loud whining noise as tub begins to turns. It then shuts down and displays LE on the screen. What could be causing this problem?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Johnny, Thank you for your inquiry. The LE error code means that the motor in your washing machine is locked. This can be caused by an overloaded washer, try a smaller load and see if you still get the error, or it could be cause by debris stuck between the drum and tub. It could be also be caused by an issue with rotor or rotor position sensor. Check the magnets inside the rotor to see if they are stripped or missing, and check the sensor inside of the rotor assembly for any visible damage or loose connections. Good luck with your repair.

Makes loud squeaky sound during agitation cycle, no noise in the early cycle Or the spin cycle. Thought it was the belt but apparently there is no belt.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Frank, thank you for reaching out. Based on our understanding of the issue, you need to check the rear tub bearing, part number PS11711138. We hope this solves your problem!

Beth - For model number 796 4027#
June 29, 2026
My washer is taking much longer than normal to do a batch of laundry.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Beth, thank you for contacting us. Your washer uses a heating element to raise the temperature of the water entering the tub. A failing heating element slows down warm or hot cycles because scale buildup or an electrical short prevents efficient heating, causing prolonged cycles. You may need to replace it. The part number is PS3532212. We hope this solves your problem!

Rory - For model number 79640272900
October 11, 2022
Why does my washer stop in mid cycle?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Rory, thank you for your question. Please ensure that the washer is getting water uninterruptedly and the water inlet valve is good. Given that the water supply is continuous, the most probable cause is a faulty door lock switch, part number PS3533609. If the washer door is not latched shut, the door switch prevents the washer from operating and the washer may stop mid-cycle. We look forward to hearing from you if you need assistance with placing an order through our 7-days-a-week customer service. We hope this helps!

Washing maching wouldn't drain

Removed the top of the washer by removing the 4 back screws and 2 small brackets. Then I removed the front panel, this was actually the hardest part, 2 screws and 8 tabs that you pop out carefully from the top of the panel. I only disconnected the power button and was able to rest the panel on top of the washer. The rest of the washer cam e apart quickly just moving down the front of the washer and removing the door, latch, tub gasket, drain cover. Removing the pump was just a mater of disconnecting the drain hoses, and one clip under the drain assembly. 3 screws attach the drain to assembly to the pump and only 2 wires that are clearly marked. Reassembly is just going back through in reverse order of disassenbly. The best thing about this is that it all comes apart with a standard phillips screwdriver.

LE Error Message and won't spin drum properly

I first tested the motor per the service manual. I checked the resistance between the terminals of the 3 pin connector. It's supposed to be 5-15 ohms. The motor checked out so I replaced the main electrical board. It turns out that wasn't the problem. After a brief web search I found out that the hall sensor (which is attached to the motor stator) was the likely cause of the failure. I replaced that and everything works great now. And now I have a spare main board in case that ever fails. I also want to mention that I took the time to remove the dispenser box (where the water comes in and is directed to the different cleaning products) and cleaned it with a very strong bleach solution. It got rid of the mildew and funky smell. It seems that the fabric softener caused a lot of mildew to form inside the dispenser directly above the fabric softener tray. The bleach took care of that. This is probably something that should be done routinely to keep the mildew from forming.
