This Part Fixes These Problems

Won't Drain

Washer tub remains full of water after the cycle — motor fails to activate or impeller is broken, preventing water from being expelled through the drain hose.

Humming / Grinding Noise

Pump motor runs and makes noise but water does not move — worn bearings, seized impeller or foreign object (coin, lint) blocking the pump chamber.

Drain Error Code (E21 / F21 / 5E)

Control board detects that the drain pump is not completing its cycle within the expected time, triggering a fault code and halting the wash programme.

Intermittent Draining

Machine drains inconsistently — pumps water some cycles but not others — indicating a failing motor winding or loose terminal connection on the M231XP pump.

Water Leaking Under Machine

A cracked or seized pump body can cause water to bypass the impeller chamber and leak onto the floor during the drain phase.

💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Washer's Drain Pump the Problem?

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Washer tub remains full of water after the cycle ends — machine will not drain

⚠️ Loud humming or grinding noise during the drain/spin phase but no water movement

⚠️ E21 / F21 / 5E drain-error code displayed on the control panel

⚠️ Pump runs intermittently or spins freely but fails to expel water (broken impeller)

🔍 Before ordering, remove the existing pump motor from its housing and compare the body diameter, terminal position (separate contacts at rear) and mounting pattern (3 self-tapping screws) to confirm M231XP compatibility. Always unplug the machine and drain any remaining water before accessing the pump.

Questions & Answers

Will this M231XP motor work with my Whirlpool front-load washer?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. The M231XP is a universal Askoll-type motor that is widely confirmed compatible with Whirlpool washers using OEM codes 481936018217, 480181701068 and 481281729514. Check that your existing pump body uses a 3-screw mount and has separate rear-contact terminals to confirm fit before installing.
Does this include the full pump housing or just the motor?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
This listing is for the motor assembly only (the M231XP motorised unit). The plastic pump housing, filter and impeller bowl from your original pump are reused — simply unscrew the old motor from the housing and bolt this replacement in. This is the standard service method for Askoll-type pumps.
My Samsung washer shows error code 5E / E2 — will replacing the M231XP drain pump fix it?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
A 5E or E2 drain error most commonly points to a blocked or failed drain pump. The M231XP replaces Samsung OEM code DC31-30008D and DC31-30001A, which are the standard drain pump motors across many Samsung front-loader models. First check the filter for blockages (lint, coins); if clear, replacing the motor is the recommended next step.
What is the voltage and frequency rating of this pump motor?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
The M231XP operates on 230V AC / 50Hz and draws 0.2A at 40W — standard European/UK mains voltage. It is not rated for 110V / 60Hz North American supply without a step-down transformer. If you are in the US, please verify your machine's original pump voltage before ordering.
Can I reuse the old pump housing when fitting the M231XP replacement motor?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Yes — and this is the recommended approach. The M231XP motor is designed for the standard Askoll 3-point pump housing. Unscrew the three self-tapping screws from the old motor, swap in the new M231XP motor, re-secure the screws, reconnect the two rear terminal wires, and refit the hoses. The existing housing, filter and impeller assembly remain in place.
