Whirlpool Washer Drain Pump Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your Whirlpool front-load washer won't drain, and you're staring at a drum full of soaking wet clothes. The drain pump is often the culprit — it's what forces water out during and after the wash cycle. This hub covers the 8540024 drain pump that fits dozens of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, and Inglis washer models, particularly the popular WFW series.
Is This the Right Part for Your Model?
Before ordering, you'll need to verify your exact model number. On most Whirlpool front-load washers, look inside the door frame — there's a sticker with the model and serial number. Match your model against the compatibility list below. This pump replaces part numbers W10130913, W10117829, WPW10730972, PS11757304, and AP6023956, so if you found any of those numbers in your research, you're in the right place.
About This Replacement Drain Pump
The 8540024 is a direct-fit drain pump assembly for Whirlpool-manufactured washers. It includes the motor, impeller housing, and mounting bracket — everything you need for a complete replacement. This pump handles the heavy lifting of expelling 15-20 gallons of water per cycle, so it takes a beating over time. Most drain pump failures show up as standing water in the drum after the cycle ends, or error codes related to drain timeout. You might also hear a humming sound during drain cycles but see no water movement — that's typically a jammed or failed impeller.
Cross-Brand Compatibility
Because Whirlpool owns several appliance brands, this same pump appears across multiple nameplates. Kenmore washers built by Whirlpool (model numbers starting with 110) use this part. So do Maytag front-loaders from the merger years, plus Amana and Inglis models. The key is matching your specific model number, not just the brand on the front panel.
What You're Getting
This is an aftermarket replacement that meets OEM specifications. At $80.99, it's priced well below the manufacturer's branded version while maintaining the same pump output and mounting configuration. The pump typically lasts 5-8 years depending on water hardness and usage frequency — if your washer is in that age range and showing drain issues, this is likely your fix.
