Re: AEG Lavamat 86741 model -waste pump problem?

Thanks electrofix, it is all working now – best performance over some years – it empties quickly now.

Well, so far I have removed the magnetic motors and examined the impellers. Behind the impellers “sandwiched” between the motor “stator” and “rotor” along the circumference was gunk. So much so I was amazed the motor worked at all recently. I had to repeat the cleanup with the other motor.
Surprising was the fact the build-up managed to ingress along the shaft from the impeller to the motor to gunk it up!

Awaiting for a dry off as it was messy and wet then I am going to fire her up! Hopefully problem solved.

Ok I can see it from the back.

I will give it a try from the back first as it looks like taking of the front plate seems like a bigger job. Unless you advise it is the only way in.
The pump c/w impeller is on the RHS of the filter (with waste hose connected)

I have tilted the machine over and the base plate covers everything.
So I suppose for this model I will have to get to it from the back of the machine?
It seems from the from the filter housing is loose after I removed the front “kickboard”
