    Why are washing machines sooo heavy! 👿 Anyway I’ve got a problem with my pump – the water has not been draining. I’ve got to the pump and undone it, there’s no coins or anything inside, and no other blockages along the way (apart from a slight skin of limescale). The pump just hums and gets hot, the propeller doesn’t spin. I gave it a prod an it spun a few times but then stopped. 😳

    Do I need a new pump, how much do you think?
    Does the pump need water in it to run properly?

    BIG thanks, Sal x

    (Pump model is PLASET ITALY cod. 48986, 50Hz

    Re: Humming Pump on Electra AWM 900B – tried new pump

    Oh My God is it really over a month since I’ve had ringing wet washing!

    Thanks Simon for you help, I order the pump, and got it connected…and the first time it did pump out, albeit with lots of rattling noises. But since then it’s been all wet still 🙁

    The brand new pump is humming and getting hot to touch, I can see the propellor is not spinning, unless I give it a prod, and then only once or twice.

    I’m really lost here 😥 and can’t figure out what else could be the prob… is there anyone who can come to my rescue?

    Sally, a coin or something similar is “floating about” in there hence the rattling noises and now it’s jammed the new pump.

    Remove the pump again and check 😀

    Hi davey, I’ve had the pump chamber bit off, it’s clean as a whistle..no coins.

    More worringly when this is connected to the power cables (yes I was v careful) and I set the dial on spin, the propellor doesn’t spin, it just hums and gets hot… ❓

    Also looking at the pump motor bit, I can pull out the propellor with the magnet cylinder, is that normal? 😕

    …rescue me

    Davey ? 😆

    Ah, in that case the pump may be faulty (unusual but it happens) 🙁

    Please forward me the email sent from the shop@ from the original order (if you have it) to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk and I’ll get another one arranged for you.

    Dave.

    Does this machine empty into a “stand pipe”, or is it coupled to a spigot under the sink? If the latter, these are so and soes for choking up and restricting the water flow. The pump motor then cooks itself……..
