Understanding the Problem
When an EF50K7500 washer fails to drain, water remains in the tub at the end of a cycle or after selecting Drain/Spin. This is usually caused by a blockage in the drain path (pump, filter or hose) or by a failed component that drives or signals the drain operation, such as the drain pump, lid/door switch, pressure sensor, or the control board. A proper diagnosis checks both simple blockages and electrical failures. Start by listening for the pump during a drain cycle — a humming pump with no water flow points to a blockage or seized impeller; no sound at all may indicate a dead pump, an open lid switch, a failed pressure switch, or an electrical/control fault. Inspecting and cleaning the drain filter and hose often solves the problem; replacing the drain pump or related electrical parts is required when those checks don't restore normal draining.
Common Symptoms
Washer finishes cycle with water in tub, slow or no draining on Drain/Spin, unusual noises or humming from the pump area, error codes relating to drainage, or washer stops mid-cycle.
Common Causes
- Clogged pump impeller or blocked pump/filter (coins, lint, small clothing items)
- Blocked, kinked, or improperly installed drain hose or blocked standpipe
- Failed drain pump motor or faulty lid/door switch, pressure sensor, or control board preventing pump activation

Helpful Repair Tip
Run a Drain/Spin cycle and listen: a working pump will make a distinct whir/hum and you should hear water moving. If it hums but no water exits, check for debris in the pump/filter or a blocked hose. If there's no sound and no error codes, measure voltage at the pump during a drain cycle before ordering a replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I clean or repair the pump instead of replacing it?
Often you can clear debris from the pump impeller or clean the pump filter and restore normal draining. Unplug the washer, access the pump (front or bottom panel), remove visible debris and check that the impeller turns freely. If the motor is burnt, noisy, or does not run when supplied with power during a drain cycle, replacement is usually required.
How much does it cost to replace the drain pump?
Parts-only cost for a drain pump typically ranges from $30–$150 depending on brand and OEM vs aftermarket. Labor costs (if you hire a technician) generally add $80–$200. Total cost depends on accessibility and whether other parts (hose, filter, control) also need replacement.
