Product review (5 stars): Perfect replacement drain pump motor for Kenmore front-loading HE3 washing machine
Bought this to replace the drain pump motor on my 11-year-old Kenmore HE3 washing machine. It had suddenly started showing the F2 and HF error codes. It made horrible noises while attempting to drain, and would only sometimes drain when nothing was in the machine (like during the diagnostic test), otherwise it would just stop the wash cycle with 11 minutes to go and sopping wet clothes with standing water in the drum. I pulled out the drain hoses and cleaned them, removed the black rubber boot under the drum to check for stuck items (none), cleaned the drain large-item filter (which had a kid's sock in it), checked the pressure switch and hose (both fine), and replaced the inlet hoses (which are supposed to be replaced every five years but I hadn't replaced in 11 years). Determined the problem had to be the motor, which had an easily spinning impeller that also slid up and down (bad sign!) so I bought this replacement motor. I used the black O-ring from the old motor to seal the connection. It only took a few minutes to install the new pump motor (three screws). Now my machine drains water like a champ and runs much quieter! Standard shipping was lightning fast too.

Update Feb. 6, 2015: washer still runs great! Have had no more problems since replacing the pump.
