Full part number list

Same numbers, plain list — handy if you want to paste one into a supplier search box.

How to order the right part

  1. Match the model, not the look. Two washers that look identical can use different pumps. The model plate wins over the photo.
  2. Search the part number, not the part name. “Drain pump” returns dozens of near-identical parts; the number returns one.
  3. Check the suffix. A part listed for WFW5220R may be revision-specific. Confirm the seller lists your full model string.
  4. Keep the old part until the new one works. Return windows are short and shipping a pump back costs money.

Where to buy

We do not sell parts and we do not take a cut of your order. Use the manufacturer's own parts site for guaranteed-fit parts, or any independent supplier for the same number at a lower price. Search the part number from the table above on whichever site you trust.

What usually fails first

On front load washers of this generation the high-wear items are the drain pump, the drive system and the door or lid lock. If the machine is over eight years old and the repair needs two of those at once, price the parts before committing — the labour will often exceed the value of the machine.
