Hotpoint Washing Machine Drain Pump

Pumps dirty water out of the drum to the waste pipe at the end of each wash and rinse.

Signs it has failed

• Water left standing in the drum at the end of a cycle
• A drain-related fault code or the cycle stopping part-way
• Humming or buzzing from the base with no water leaving
• Grinding or rattling when the pump runs, often from a trapped object

Check before you buy

• Clear the pump filter first (small flap at the bottom front) and remove coins, hair pins and fluff
• Check the outlet hose is not kinked or blocked at the waste connection
• With the filter out, spin the impeller by hand: it should turn freely but not wobble

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your washing machine and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Unplug the machine and turn the water off
2. Drain what is left through the filter or the emergency drain hose into a shallow tray
3. Tilt the machine safely or work from the base or back panel to reach the pump
4. Note the hose positions, release the clamps and unplug the pump wiring
5. Unclip or unscrew the old pump, fit the new one and refit the hoses and clamps
6. Run a short drain-and-spin cycle and check for leaks

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part

Pumps vary by connector shape, mounting and motor. Match the part number from the old pump where you can, or your model number.
