Whirlpool does not sell the pump motor separate for this model, so you have to buy the whole assembly. Before you will order it, remove the hose from the pressure switch and blow some air through it into the tub. Check for 120 VAC to the pump motor while the control calls for drain. Then give it a try and post the results. - The drain pump assembly Part number: AP3953640

I have a similar but different problem with mine. Model GHW 9250 MTO.
The first load of the day, everything works normally.
If we start a second load right away, the drain pump malfunctions and reports F02 code. The pump runs, but makes a clicking sound.
We have to allow the machine to set and rest for several hours, which apparently allows the machine to reset and then the drain and spin cycle works again to finish the load.
I've disassembled the drain hose, pump and air vent and found no blockage. Soap scum build up, but no socks or coins or pen caps.
This sounds like an electrical issue to me.
What is my next step ? Replace the pressure sensor, the pump, the control unit ?
Thanks for your help

follow up to my issue... i purchased and easily installed a new motor. i found it on ******** - the motor only, not the assembly, which saved me about $60. put it all back together and it's been working beautifully for a couple months now.

Can anyone offer me a suggestion?
Can a pump replacement be necessary, even though it works fine after "rest" ?

Well, I pulled the front panel off again and disconnected the main drain hose that is between the tub and pump.
I cleaned out mainly soap scum and a piece of string in and around the plastic ball.
After putting it all back together, I still have the same results. The first load works perfectly and then the second load errors out at the final rinse and spin.
After several hours of rest, we restart and it finishes.
Should I try a new pump ? Is that the next best step ?
Terry
