If your Whirlpool Duet Steam Washer's (MFW8740DW1) drain pump has gone out, then follow this easy six-step guide for the replacement procedure. The repair will take about 25-45 minutes to complete.
The drain pump forces water from the bottom of the washing machine to the drain hose. Drain pumps tend to fail over time due to mechanical or electrical failure. If water is getting trapped in the washer tub, then your drain pump needs to be replaced.
Always unplug washing machine before starting any repair.
