Contact Indesit/Merloni directly, and ask for an impeller seal for
that model. If it is the same as earlier models, the impeller is
usually a left handed thread fixing, and the seal just pushes onto the
impeller shaft, the seal then compresses when tightened against the
plastic ring on the motor.


You make it sound so easy!
Called the spares line this morning and the woam hung up 'cos she
couldn't find the wash pump.
Called again and spoke to a very helpful lady and as suspected the
whole pump/motor assembly is only available as a complete unit.

The seal is a bellows type sprung mechanical seal (like the ones found
on http://www.tgsuk.com/tgsseal1.htm ) so I'll see if I can get one
the right size.
