Description

The drain pump is a small electric pump typically located at the bottom of the appliance (e.g., washing machine or dishwasher). It is connected to the drain hose and uses an impeller or motor to force wastewater out of the machine and into the drain. The pump is designed to handle water, detergent residues, and small debris without clogging or malfunctioning.It ensures that dirty water is efficiently pumped out of the appliance and into the home’s drainage system. Here’s a detailed description, along with its features and specifications:
