Whirlpool washer not draining is typically caused by clogged drain pump filter or failed drain pump. Whirlpool-specific factor: coin trap clog in drain pump housing — coins, buttons, small items block impeller. Repair costs $100-$300 with free diagnostic and 90-day warranty.

Seeing one of these codes? It likely indicates not draining.
Sacramento Whirlpool drain pump failures correlate with hard water mineral buildup on the pump impeller — calcium deposits reduce clearance until the motor overheats. Combined with Sacramento lint loads from dusty outdoor environments, the drain filter clogs more frequently. Monthly filter cleaning and annual pump inspection prevent most drain failures.
Access drain pump filter: on front-loaders, open small door at bottom front; on top-loaders, tilt machine back and access from bottom
Clean filter and inspect pump impeller for foreign objects or mineral scale — use flashlight through filter opening
Run Whirlpool drain test: enter diagnostic mode, advance to drain cycle, verify pump engages and water exits drain hose
Check standpipe height — drain hose end must be 36-72 inches above floor; below 36 inches risks siphon drainback
The technician accesses the pump filter and removes any trapped items — coins, bra wires, and small socks are the most common culprits. If the pump motor has burnt out, the assembly is replaced from the bottom or front of the machine depending on the model. Whirlpool drain pumps (W10130913) are a 30-40 minute replacement. The technician also verifies drain hose routing and standpipe height compliance.
