Hello, I've got an indesit dishwasher (yeah yeah) that I've had for
the last 5 years - model DG5000WG. The recirculating pump is the same
as the second one down at
http://shop.ezee-fix.co.uk/Ezee_FixS...Motor_224.html and the
impeller spindle seal has gone.

I removed the pump, removed the impeller housing and cut it open
around the glued seam. The seal is a ring of hard plastic (at the
motor end) connected to a short rubber tube which is attached to the
impeller, with a spring inbetween. The rubber tube has split.

Now, being tight as I am I'm reluctant to spend 100 quid on a complete
new motor for a couple of quid part. I doubt I can buy the exact
spare so does anyone have any other suggestions? Are these things
pretty standard if I can find a pump rebuild kit somewhere? I've
tried using silcone sealant to repair the rubber part but it doesn't
adhere very well and starts to leak again halfway into the wash cycle.

Thanks!

Steve
