Our washer dryer (Hoover WDM 120) stopped draining. Following previous postings here, I checked the filter and pipes for blockages. Eventually I removed the pump (well, I think it is the pump - a small motor on the back of the filter chamber. The paddles seem very small though).
There is nothing obviously wrong with the pump, but when I connected it to the mains (I was very careful:) it didn't do anything, not so much as a buzz or click. As there are only 2 connectors, I presume it should start to work when power is applied?
So, do you think a new pump will fix it? There is nothing else obviously wrong, the drum spins (after manually draining it) etc. I am just worried that the pump might have burnt out part of the controller when it failed.
The machine is a little over 2 years old, but it has been used pretty heavily. It could last a good while longer or the bearings might go next week. I am willing to take a gamble if it is just the pump, but if it is likely to be anything more serious I will probably have to cut my losses.
As you might have gathered, I am not too experienced at fixing these things. I've owned a number over the years, but they always seem to fail catastrophically so I've never attempted to fix one before.
Cheers
