Large pliers or mole grips can be used on the clips. Just tilt the machine forward to access the screws underneath, no need to lie it flat.
I’ve already gotten the easy hose off, where my pliers can easily reach. However, the part of the hose clamp for the outlet drain is facing away from me. It’s just next to the metal panel so that I cannot reach it from the side, but must reach it from above. I can’t do that with my pliers. I’ve tried channel locks, but I cannot get them to close enough to loosen the clip. It would have been far easier if the part of the clamp that you need to close would be facing me, rather than facing the panel with only a few inches between the clip and the panel. I don’t understand how to get in there….????
Hmmm…..so, maybe tilt the machine forward to loosen the pump, and THEN undo the hose that I can’t reach???
Got it. It’s a Plaset made in Italy. I will say that, if I’m able to find a replacement, it’s not going to be easy to put this back in. I can’t find a model number on this….do you have any idea as to a replacement?
I’m at Old Trafford watching Lancashire atm, the standard pump used on these fitted all Hotpoint machines made for many years. The hoses clips are easily accessible from behind the small lower back panel. Unless of course someone has taken them off in the past and not refitted them correctly.
probably this one
See if this works: https://i.postimg.cc/28gGS4vj/FE7-B2293-D2-C9-41-E2-B9-AF-C78-BEDA40935.jpg

You know, I really shouldn’t be let out of the house without someone in a white coat with me. Sorry about the above photo….that’s actually the one that I replaced some years ago, for my US top loader. This is the pump for the. Hotpoint:

I’ve even found the part number. 160225. Of course, in googling that, no one has it.And just to prove how stupid I am (as though you haven’t already guessed this), I got the service manual for this machine. There is a bottom panel, in the back, that comes off with three screws, so that the pump is right there to remove and hook up. All these shenanigans that I did, coming in and down through the larger back panel, where I couldn’t really reach the pump, was idiotic. Anyway, this will make it easier to replace the pump, as I assume whatever I’ll get would be aftermarket, so not a direct fit, etc.
You’re assuming that English is my primary language (it is….lol). Anyway, after looking on the internet, it appears that finding a new old stock replacement for this is going to be a non runner. Just for the heck of it, I took the outer cover that holds the inlet and outlet hoses. It doesn’t look like there much inside to actually leak. Behind the cover, under the little ‘propeller’ is a large black rubber gasket, where the circumference of it sits is a small channel. From the discoloration and rust on the bottom screw holding the cover on, it looks like this gasket was leaking from the bottom. I cannot see a way to take this gasket off, as it’s behind the propeller, and I don’t readily see a screw or any way of removing that. Was that gasket supposed to be glued around the rim to the plastic piece behind it? (It wasn’t). The electrics on the pump were working (at least for now). Have you ever repaired one of these things? Maybe Debhor around the rim of the gasket? Any ideas (or any suggestions to get a new pump?? My concern about something aftermarket is having to modify it to install it properly)….????
My pump doesn’t look anything like this:
