Separating two heat fused ABS body parts of an impeller
HI, Am unable to get a part for my LG dishwasher. Figured i could repair the same if i could find a way to split open an ABS body impeller that has a worn out seal......the hitch is that the 2 parts have been fused together by a heating method possibly without using any glues (cant find any traces of glue). The fused parts are about 5 mm wide and about 1.5mm thick individually. its a spherical part about 6 inches in diameter and only the outer 5 mm seems to be fused as its hollow inside to house the impeller and related stuff.
Need a clean split of the fused parts as i would have to rejoin the same post repairs..... Any suggestions would be gladly accepted...... Ethan |

If they were heat-welded like that intentionally during manufacturing, they would for all intents and purposes become 1 part. So, your chances of cleanly splitting them are slim to none. Are you hoping for a bad weld? -- for full context, visit http://www.homeownershub.com/mainten...r-1111065-.htm |

Doesn't sound like something I'd do on a dishwasher pump. Is it that a new pump is unavailable or just too expensive? Try Ebay for a replacement pump? |
