The pump quit working. Can I get replacement pump?

I agree with Mike Kolbay's earlier very complete answer. The water intake to the pump is quite narrow, and clogs easily with accumulated lint and bacterial muck. While the covers are off the machine, thoroughly clean the drip tray and all the water passages. A piece of crud the size of your smallest fingernail can cause water to overflow onto the floor, rather than going into the tank.

usually the float is stuck. remove the resevoir and check the upper inside of the machine for the float. if you can flop it up and down easily, it's the switch attached to it that needs to be replaced.

If you've checked power to the pump and it isn't working, it needs replacing, unless it's blocked with slimy deposits. Try a vacuum cleaner on the drain hose outlet

It certainly may solve the problem. It's worth the effort.

The pump and water level sensor are one piece replace the pump.

Hi,
They are a mechanical pump and will make quite a racket...nothing can be done to it to quiet it..

u should have a number on the unit to call if not call the place it was purchased and see if they can get u in touch with someone who can help but that should definitely be a warranty part

may need to shim the bucket - the bucket full switch may think the bucket has not been replaced

It's not a one way valve, it's a water strainer. It has a barrel with a fitting on each end, the upper leads into the barrel, the lower has a strainer tube attached. When it's plugging up, it seems like a one-way valve because when you try to force water into the top, it pushes the lint and junk against the strainer screen, blocking it. When you try to force water in from the bottom, the water pushes the lint away from the screen, allowing a reduced flow. Some have an arrow; it's to indicate flow direction to keep the lint on the outside of the screen; the inside, being mush smaller than the barrel, would plug up much sooner. Before you replace the strainer, clean the lint & stuff out of the small pump reservoir (above the pump). If you don't, the strainer will plug up quickly again, if it can even get water to it.
