Thats a perfectly suitable replacement, you will need to find two small self tapping screws to screw into that green support bracket.
Unavailable everywhere, but is this what I’m looking for?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gorenje-Ariston-Indesit-Hotpoint-C00197680/dp/B00J35FGJSI have the screws from my original pump. I’ll order the one in that link. In the meantime, just curious. I read this on your instruction area: The problem with induction pumps was that they leaked, as well as the usual pump faults like being noisy or not draining, from the centre seal of the main shaft on the pump behind the impeller. This was billed as one of the biggest reasons for the switch to magnetic type pumps
This is obviously my problem. Is there some reason that I cannot just glue that seal down with debhor so it won’t leak?
OK, I bought it. And I’ll probably be back with you, for info on how to wire it in. I can’t tell from the photo if the connections are the same. Ugh….I’ve been dealing with this since noon. It’s now 8:30PM. I’m giving up for the day.
Yes, it won’t work full stop. Debhor is for sealing hoses to drums, It is not for sealing moving parts. That pump is correct.

from memory I think the old screwa maybe the wrong size so might need to find some self tappers to fit

OK, should have the pump maybe by the end of this week. I am hoping the hooking up the electrics will be somewhat similar. It was 4 wires. Einstein actually remembered to take photos…lol. The link for the replacement didn’t mention the wattage. What difference will it make if the replacement is less than 90w?
Should only be two wires to the pump, the old pump may also have had an earth wire which is not needed on the new pump. The connections are slightly different but it is possible to fit the original connectors to the new pump as long as you make sure they are insulated from each other. Don’t worry about pump wattage, that pump will be fine.
NB. It doesn’t matter which terminals you put the two wires back on.
My original pump had 4 wires going to it. There were two insulated wires that went to spade connectors, which I assume are the two wires that you are talking about. Then there was a single wire going to a spade connector on the metal ‘block’ of the pump. The pump had a metal protective piece Ofer the whole thing, and there was a single wire screwed into that…maybe that was the ground? Anyway. I understand about the two insulated wires. Will be back again for further instructions when I get the pump! In the meantime, thank you both for all your help. This would all be a lot more difficult without you.
Good day!! I’ve received my replacement pump. Before I screw this up, I want to just confirm a few things. This is the photo of my old pump:

That yellow/green wire was connected in two places…one connection on the (corroded) spade connection that you see just to the left of the label, and one connection (using the ‘eyelet’ connection to the right of the pump) that went to a metal ‘pump cover’ that was on top of the pump. I’m assuming, then, that both of these connections were the ground/earth, and that I do not need either of them??
Do I need the metal plate that covered the original pump?
Also, the bottom of the original pump sat on this metal bracket:

Do I still need this bracket, or can I screw the new pump directly into the floor panel of the washer??
It looks like the connector for the wiring is on a different side of the pump. I haven’t opened the machine up yet, but hopefully I’ll have enough wire to get to the new connectors, without having to modify. And just to confirm the advice from above…..there is no polarity that I have to worry about. Is that correct????Sorry for the duplicate. My computer said the original hadn’t uploaded…..there’s no way for me to delete the duplicate??
And stupidly, I didn’t take a photo of the pump before I removed it. I can’t figure out how it goes….:(
The drain hose is facing back on the new pump. So I assume that I will have to turn this around in order to fit my machine? It’s opposite of my original, which is why I couldn’t figure it out……
OK, I turned the fitting around on the new pump, and it now lines up with the hoses on the machine. Nice of Plaset to decide to make the housing for the electrical connectors about a millimeter to narrow for the original plastic covers over the spade connectors to fit. Any suggestions??
Dear Diary,
We’ve hit an impasse for the day. While we have been successful in shaving off a millimeter of the plastic connectors surrounding the original connectors, so that they now fit into the new pump, it appears that the holes for the new pump, where you attach it to the machine, are closer together than the holes in the bottom panel. We have to take the metal bracket off of the old pump, and attach it to the new one. This will also raise the new pump up to the same level as the original. The metal bracket is held on by 2 screws to the old pump. Of course, one came out easily, but the second, despite a shower in WD40, will not budge. I don’t have an impact driver, but apparently will need one in order to do this. So, the installation is momentarily stalled…..
