The drain pump removes water from the washer tub during the drain portion of each wash cycle.

Remove the screws from the lower kick panel to expose the pump access area. Before removing the pump, drain residual water by removing the pump filter cap (have a shallow pan ready). After draining, disconnect the pump wiring harness. Release the hose clamps and pull the drain hoses free from the pump ports. Unscrew the pump mounting screws or twist out the mounting grommets. Remove the old pump and install the new 280187 assembly in the same position using the included grommets. Reconnect hoses, secure clamps, and reconnect the wiring harness. Reinstall the kick panel.
