Hi Guys

MOT due and washer not working, Had a look at it and had someone operate the switch while I held pump motor in hand.
I can feel a clicking going on inside and it starts to get very warm so this suggests power is getting to it.

Do you think the pump is dead? Shall I swap it for a new one?
Any clues on what else I could try to get it working.

Cheers Jay

dead pump...
try brickwerks..heritage..etc

whilst waiting for the new one to turn up whack the old one whilst power to it may jump back into life for a while

Cheers for replies, I did whack it as I thought it may be jammed, no luck, looks like a new one then...

Cheers Jay

If your pump clicks, then it's not totally seized. One trick that's worth a try...........

Sometimes the pump picks up a tiny bit of grit which jams the little plastic gear wheels. If you connect the pump up with reverse polarity (+ to - and - to +) just for an instant it can release the particle by running backwards and then works OK.

Sometimes.
