OT Electrolux /dishwasher experts?
As above, puddle under built in dish washer, removed adjacent cupboard to get it out - someone's tiled the floor since it was installed
Problem traced to a motor with pump on end which appears to recirculate the water to wash dishes, it connects 2 hoses. This pump housing fixes on to
theend of motor with an O ring and some plastic tags to stop it shaking off. This seemed to have some stained marks on it so I dismantled and sealed
it, now when running it appears to leak water out throughthe motor - I presume there is a seal around the back of the pump impeller where it joins on
to motor shaft which has gone,
Questions
Anyone know this machine who can: confirm thoughts,
say if seal is an easy fix and any quick reliable suppliers?
Thanks in anticipation
Mike

If the pump has any plastic components on it throw it away and get another.
Plastic and heat dont mix.
If its metal another seal might do it, but dont hold out much hope.
I speak from experience having worked for Indeshit and Aristoff as an 'engineer' for 2 years.

Re place with a new pump and check the filter is not blocked [ some times at the front and some times at the back ] of the machine

if one thing's broken, others are sure to follow.
Look on tradeappliances.com (or similar, im not at home for my links). CDA is ok as far as i know, and cheap.
your existing one should come out ok if you lower the legs on it to drop it, then you can lift onto the tiles.
