Product review (1 stars): Mine failed the day it was installed!
My Maytag washer started making a loud grating noise, so I took a look and found out the pump was at fault. I ordered this pump and installed it. When I powered up my washer, I immediately noticed that the pump was noisier than the old one before it failed. After washing some clothes, the new pump started making that same grating noise as the failed old pump! At least it failed within the return period, so I got my money back minus how much it cost me to send it back, which was about $8.

When I took the new pump out, I noticed that a metal collar had dislodged itself from the bearing and was rubbing against the metal plate. This is the same issue another reviewer noted.

I immediately ordered a genuine OEM pump.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Whirlpool-35-6780-Water-Pump-for-Washer/dp/B005BNM4P0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Whirlpool 35-6780 Water Pump for Washer</a>&nbsp;This is what I should have done at the beginning. I'm sticking with genuine OEM parts from now on. The genuine OEM pump has been working great so far.
