Product review (3 stars): Doesn't fit older Duet Sport
I have a Whirlpool Duet Sport wfw8300sw00 equipped with drain pump 8540024. Looking this part up on Amazon brings me to this pump which is economically priced and ships extremely fast. Unfortunately, it is clearly taller inside than than the OEM and will not seat deep enough to let the twist lock tabs catch. I suppose I could customize with cutting tools to make it work but risk weakening the structure leading to a leaking appliance some day--no thanks. On older models this part is superceded by WPW10730972 which shows an entire assembly rumored to have hoses that may not fit. $99-160 for this part locally on 11 year old washer is a questionable investment. If only the $35 part fit. Seems unfair to give it a one or two star rating but by labeling it exactly the same part as I have in my washer is misleading even if my model number isn't in their list of "will fit" models. So I'll go with three stars. The risk ya take for ordering online rather than buying in-store but the shipping was super fast as was the issuance of the refund so Amazon and their vendors didn't disappoint.
