- Labor
- Moderate
- Diagnosis required first
- Yes
Final cost depends on diagnosis, the exact model, parts availability and whether other damage is found. This is a typical range based on similar repairs, not a quote.
What the repair includes
- Diagnosis to confirm the failed part before ordering
- Clearing the drain hose, pump inlet and any coin trap or filter housing
- Access to the pump (cabinet or front panel removal depending on design)
- Pump installation and hose clamp reseal
- Drain and spin test with a leak check
Why the price varies
- Top-load vs front-load pump design
- Whether a debris-damaged impeller also damaged the pump housing or hoses
- Ease of access on stacked or tightly installed units
When this repair makes sense
- The rest of the washer is sound and the pump is the confirmed fault
- Almost any age of washer, since the pump is a moderate-cost part
When replacement may be the better choice
- The washer also has a failed bearing, gearcase or major board and is past its expected lifespan
Signs the drain pump may not be the problem
- A clog in the drain hose, standpipe or pump inlet stops draining just like a dead pump, and clearing it costs far less than a pump.
- A drain hose pushed too far into the standpipe can siphon water out or trap it; the pump is fine.
- A washer that hums but does not drain may have a jammed pump with a sock or coin in it, which can be cleared without a new pump.
- If the control never sends power to the pump, a new pump will not fix it; the problem is upstream in wiring, the lid or door lock, or the control.
