Thanks Dave. After much searching I think the price of a new pump is too much. They appear to be around £110 and up. I’ll start looking for a new dishwasher I think.
There are some other manufacturer models like Beko, that appear to use a very similar pump. I reckon I could use their pump and it would work. However I’m not prepared to spend the necessary £50-£60 to try and find out.

EDIT: the link to the photos in an earlier post no longer works. I’ve disabled it.
Well tonight I took out the pump and heater assembly. I stripped the pump down as far as necessary and cleaned it out. It really needed it! Check out the new photos added to the shared album above.
It appears to me that pump rotor shaft is damaged. I’ve no idea how that could happen but it looks like possibly friction / overheating. I guess there are permanent magnets sealed in the plastic and it looks like one or two of them are protruding from the plastic – just a guess. This is causing a bit of friction when turning the impeller by hand. I can feel some resistance. I think this is preventing the pump from working.
I think it’s the end of the road for this machine. Dave do you happen to know the part number for a replacement pump? I think it’s around the £120 mark which really isn’t work my while considering.
The annoying thing is… when I put it all back together, I started a quick wash and it all worked well. I opened the door to make sure the bottom arm was spinning, then closed the door again. After that, F5 again and it refused to start.
Those photos were taken a few years ago when I replaced the heater but I guess I’ll have to remove it again to check the motor. I’ll do that tomorrow after work and post back.
Is it the pump on the end of the heater that the f5 is referring to?
Not sure why it’s appearing for me?? In my machine there is a Bleckmann pump attached to the end of the heater “tube / pipe / element”, is that likely to be the circulating pump that the F5 is referring to? It would be handy if I could post a photo but can’t for some reason.
Edit: try this album (it’s on my NAS so it will give a security certificate warning). I will leave it active for a day or two then remove the link.
