Multi-Brand Washing Machine Drain Pump Motor Parts — Models & Compatibility

This M231XP drain pump motor works across multiple major brands — Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Indesit, Hotpoint, and Electrolux. If your washer won't drain or leaves standing water after the cycle, this universal replacement part (replaces OEM numbers 481936018217, RN0020, DC31-30008D, and 49016211) might be exactly what you need. It's designed as a direct-fit replacement for over 20 different washing machine models.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your washer's model number against our compatibility list below. You'll usually find the model number on a sticker inside the door rim, behind the detergent dispenser, or on the back panel near the water connections. This pump fits front-load and top-load models from Samsung (B-series, J-series, HDW series), LG (LD series), Whirlpool (WFW series), Indesit (IWSC series), Hotpoint (WMFUG, HE7L series), and select Amana models. The part number cross-reference makes it easier — if your original pump shows 481936018217, RN0020, DC31-30008D, or 49016211, you've got the right match.

About This Replacement Drain Pump

The M231XP is a universal-fit drain pump motor that handles the tough job of evacuating water from your wash tub. When these pumps fail, you'll typically see standing water at the end of cycles, hear unusual grinding or humming noises during drain attempts, or get error codes related to drainage. The pump includes the motor assembly and housing, making it a complete replacement unit. At $42.99, it's priced as an aftermarket alternative that works across multiple brands — you're not paying the premium for brand-specific OEM packaging. The cross-compatibility comes from standardized mounting points and electrical connections used by these manufacturers, which means one part can serve washing machines from Samsung to Whirlpool to LG.

What This Part Replaces

This universal pump replaces multiple OEM part numbers: 481936018217 (Whirlpool/Indesit), RN0020 (generic), DC31-30008D (Samsung), and 49016211 (Indesit). If you're ordering a replacement and see any of these numbers on your failed pump, the M231XP will work as a direct substitute.

Why Universal Parts Make Sense

Appliance manufacturers often source components from the same suppliers, which is why you'll see identical pumps across different brand names. The M231XP takes advantage of this — it's built to the same specifications as the original equipment but packaged as a multi-brand replacement. You get the same mounting dimensions, electrical specs, and flow capacity without paying for brand-specific packaging. Just verify your model number matches our compatibility list and check that the mounting bracket orientation works for your machine's layout.
