ADP8332 spray pump

[AndrewC]

Further to my message last week about my ADP8332 which was washing the kitchen floor rather than the dishes 🙁 I was able to trace the fault to a split seal deep in the bowels of the machine.

It turns out this seal, which joins the water collector at one end, is an integral (ie heat-sealed) part of the spray pump which in turn is sold by Whirlpool only with the motor, meaning a 50p rubber thing will cost me over £100 to replace.

Leaving aside what poor design this appears to be, does anyone have any bright ideas? Ideally I’d like to find either a salvaged spray pump (without the motor, as the two parts will supposedly unscrew) or even better a replacement hose. It’s about 25mm diameter at one end, approx 32mm at the other. A local engineer suggested a car parts supplier would be a good bet but I don’t think I’d be popular going in there with the old seal and saying “Please can you search through your stores for something like this”!

As far as I remember you can buy the pump without the motor. Dave will be able to advise better on this.

Re: ADP8332 spray pump

Now here’s one of those funny things that makes you wonder what the manufacurers are up to:

Pump chamber with impellor and seals – 4812 360 18511 – £75.55
Pump motor complete – 4812 361 58334 – £75.55

Plus VAT and dely……………….

Unless Mr Conway knows better of course 😀

eMail to spares@ukwhitegoods.co.uk for ordering and confirmed pricing.

Both parts supersede to 4812 361 58334 as Whirlpool have changed the design of the motor and pump. The original is a magnetic (Askoll) type, the replacement is an induction motor (comes with kit).

Oh well, scratch that idea as a money saver then 🙁
I never got to know the price of parts I was fitting, boss kept it very secret 😛

Re: ADP8332 spray pump

Thanks to Dave, I now have at least one option to replace the part, though not in time for the aftermath of the Christmas dinner 🙁

As an aside, is this type of arrangement (ie rubber pipe splits, have to replace the whole motor) typical in dishwashers? If so, does anyone know why? If not, I won’t be buying any Whirlpool products in future.

Re: ADP8332 spray pump

Not especially.

I think on this occasion, Whirlpool sourced a circulation motor from somewhere different than their normal supplier (financial decision no doubt), found it to be unreliable and replaced with another more reliable type.
