Product review (5 stars): Fixed the problem
Over the past year, my washing machine started failing to drain a couple of times. Each time this happened I took apart and cleared the drain pump of debris and the machine started draining again. But most recently cleaning the pump didn't work. Furthermore, the sound of the pump trying to drain the water just didn't sound very strong. So I took a chance on simply replacing the pump with this model that I bought. Bingo. Problem solved. It was a very easy fix--just had to remove clamps from the hoses attached to the pump and remove the screws that hold the pump in place, and put in the new drain pump.
