The drain pump on each is an inexpensive, widely available component, which is why the figure does not move between them. What moves is the route to it: how much comes off, whether the machine has to be laid over, and how much water ends up on the floor first. ### What is found in these Coins, buttons, hairpins, screws and underwires, in roughly that order. None of them arrived by accident and all of them can be kept out by checking pockets, which is advice nobody has ever taken. The practical version is to clear the trap on machines that have one before it becomes a repair. ### Where this becomes a bigger conversation If the machine has been draining badly for a long time and now also will not spin, there may be two things wrong rather than one — a control that has been logging errors and a drain path that never worked. Both get separated on the visit so you are not paying for a guess. What moves this figure from $175, pump and trap together The obstruction found before the part 110 and 796 priced the same, accessed differently What is actually in the pump A coin, a hairpin, an underwire. Those stop a pump and damage it, and clearing one is not the same job as replacing a failed motor. Both start here. Which machine it is A Whirlpool-built top-loader and an LG-built front-loader put their pumps in different places and expect different amounts of dismantling to reach them. Whether the drain hose or the standpipe is the problem A pump pushing into a blocked house drain is a working pump with nowhere to go. That is checked before anything is condemned, because it is free to check and not rare. Whether it has been running dry A pump that has been cycling against an obstruction for weeks is usually damaged even after the obstruction comes out. That gets said before the repair rather than after. Whether water has reached anything else A machine that has been draining slowly and overflowing has often wet a control or a floor. Both matter and both are looked at. Same band, different machines A 110 is a Whirlpool and a 796 is an LG, and they are genuinely different washers wearing one badge.

A pump made to work against a restriction for months is a pump that will fail, and at that point you are paying for both. ### Should I try the coin trap myself? On machines that have an accessible one, absolutely, and it is often the whole repair. Have a shallow tray and several towels ready — there is more water in there than anybody expects. --- **[Read full article: Washer drain pump replacement cost](https://kenmoremiami.support/repair-cost/washer-drain-pump-replacement-cost/)**
