drain pump

Empties the basin

A drain pump is a mechanical device that removes water or other liquids from an area where they've collected.

Washing machines and dishwashers use drain pumps to expel wastewater.

Basement drain pumps prevent flooding by pumping out accumulated groundwater.

The drain pump failed and now there's standing water in the machine.
