Pump on W/m broken

Hi Guys

hope you can help. I think the pump has gone on my w/m, its simply not emptying. Im not in the market for a new one but is a pump easy to replace or fix.

Any ideas/suggestions welcome

It's happened to me a few times, luckily the pump wasn't always broken, but had got blocked with (paperclip + pound coin!). My machine has an easy input to the pump to allow for extracting these unwanted objects. Otherwise, last time I needed a new pump, the fitting and relacement cost around £80, with a local repairer,, but this was a few years back.

pumps are about 5 to 20 quid on ebay.
its an easy job to swap them over. bout 15/30 minutes.

Thanks for the info, I know that this is a silly question but were is the pump?? so I have to take the back off and what does it look like.

Girly question I know

My pump inlet is at the front bottom behind an easily removed panel. I'd guess it depends on your make and model though.

It might be worthwhile having a look on the white goods web site. It has helped me in the past

tell us the make model of your washing machine, and we can find a photo of your pump on tinternet.
