WH23X38617 Washer Drain Pump Filter (With Seal)
Description
WH23X38617 Genuine OEM GE Washer Drain Pump Filter with Seal
The WH23X38617 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement drain pump filter with seal, compatible with select GE, GE Profile, and GE 2-in-1 Washer/Dryer Combo models. The pump filter sits inside the drain pump housing and traps lint, coins, hair, and small debris before they reach the pump impeller. Keeping this filter clean and intact is essential for proper drainage — a clogged or damaged filter causes slow draining, standing water in the tub, and can strain the drain pump over time.
This genuine OEM part is manufactured by GE to factory specifications and includes both the pump filter and the seal. The seal prevents leaks at the pump clean-out when the filter is installed correctly. The filter body is blue plastic with rubber seal components, measuring approximately 6" L x 3" W x 3" H. It directly replaces part number AP7243923 and installs with a simple counterclockwise removal and clockwise installation — no special tools required.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing the drain pump filter. Place towels or a shallow pan beneath the filter access panel to catch residual water — there will always be some water remaining in the pump housing when you remove the filter. Locate the pump filter access panel at the lower front of the washer and open or remove it. Turn the old WH23X38617 filter counterclockwise to loosen and remove it. Clear any debris from the filter housing and wipe the area clean. Install the new filter and seal by inserting it into the housing and turning it clockwise until snug — do not overtighten. Close or reinstall the access panel, restore water supply and power, then run a short cycle to verify proper drainage and confirm there are no leaks at the filter port. Tip: Clean the pump filter every 1–3 months as part of regular washer maintenance to prevent buildup. Tools needed: None for the filter itself; a screwdriver may be needed to open the access panel on some models.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the drain pump filter do?
The drain pump filter catches lint, coins, hair, buttons, and other small items before they can reach the drain pump impeller. Without the filter, debris can jam or damage the impeller — leading to pump failure, loud grinding noises, or a washer that won't drain. The filter also acts as a cleanout access point so you can periodically remove accumulated debris without disassembling the pump.
How often should I clean or replace the pump filter?
GE recommends cleaning the pump filter every 1–3 months depending on how frequently you run the washer and how much lint your laundry produces. The filter should be replaced rather than just cleaned if it is cracked, stripped at the threads, or if the seal is damaged or missing — a compromised filter or seal will leak water from the access port.
Why is water leaking from the front of my GE washer near the bottom?
A leak at the lower front of the washer near the pump access panel is most often caused by a damaged or deteriorated pump filter seal, a cracked filter body, or a filter that is not fully tightened. Replacing the WH23X38617 pump filter and seal resolves this in most cases. Make sure the new filter is hand-tightened snugly — do not overtighten, as this can crack the housing.
Will there be water when I remove the pump filter?
Yes — there is always residual water in the drain pump housing. Before removing the filter, place towels and a shallow pan or tray directly under the access panel to catch the water. The amount varies depending on how much water remains in the washer after the last cycle. Running a drain-only cycle immediately before removing the filter will minimize the amount of water released.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same pump filter and seal that GE installs in compatible models from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
