I think that may be the best solution to be honest 😉

In your last photo, what is that white plastic looking strip behind the top impellor blade I wonder???

I think that is just the camera flash reflecting off drips of water within the unit. 😕

I’m going to try your Repairs@ service methinks.

Agree with Martin, there does appear to be sometihng stuck inside the pump at 12.00. Part of it looks like a plastic curtain hook. There is definately something behind the top blade of the impellor as well in that picture.

Circled in red.

Hmm… I just took another photo for comparison:

BTW: it’s at 6, not 12 o/c… the photo is upside-down! I forgot to rotate it earlier, and haven’t with the one above, neither.

What on earth is that four legged thing? Its making my neck ache trying to view it the right way round, it could be part of the moulding of the pump housing, but I don’t think it should be there.

There still appears to be something black behind the impellor, unless it is a shadow, or possibly the water residue.

Edit. 😳

Have you tried running the pump without water and with the filter removed?

A reflection of the impellor I think 😉

😳 now I have turned it the right way up and had a closer look I fear you could be right Dave. still worth trying the pump without the filter and no water though.

Re: Indesit WD12 drainage/noise problem

I just had someone round to have a look… and it worked straight away for him! 😕 The only thing he did differently was to start the machine on a normal cycle before attempting to drain.

It is definitely more noisy than the old pump, though. 😐
