Guide · WasherMost front-loaders have a cleanable filter in front of the drain pump, behind a small panel at the lower front. Drain the tub through the small emergency hose first, then unscrew the filter, clean it and check that the pump impeller turns. This clears a large share of drain complaints before any part is replaced.
Guide · WasherClass actions claimed that Whirlpool-made front-loaders (Whirlpool, Maytag and Kenmore brands built 2001-2010, including the Duet family) and LG front-loaders bought 2002-2006 did not clean residue out of the tub and grew mold and odor. Both settled in 2016 without any admission of fault, and the claim deadlines (October 2016) are long closed. The field reality: these machines trap residue between the inner and outer tub, so a gasket wipe alone rarely cures the smell.
Component test · WasherMost drain pumps are small synchronous motors. Clear the filter and impeller first, then test the winding and the voltage. Published resistance values vary a lot by brand, so use the tech sheet for the number.
