Hotpoint WM22 not pumping out water?

on the pump there are two connections, N(eutral) and L(ive) but only one wire - is it missing something here? Can't find any loose leads. I presume it was a live lead that was connected :-)

I've removed the pump, nothing has snagged the rotar, but behind it was all claggy (like in a fish tank internal pump).

I've reconnected, just need to test it again and hope the pipes don't leak, nor the wiring short.

But I think I need to get some new brushes.

thanks Colin - do the pipe connectors release easily? (haven't tried yet).

Do I need to totally remove the pump to examine it? Any advice on pump removal/inspection appreciated.

Pump is very easy to replace. Undo the two hose connections and the wiring connections and remove fixing screws. Replacement pump should be around £10 -£15. Check out www.2ndwave.co.uk/manual.html for more info

Before you replace the pump check that it is turning freely. Chances are it is clogged with bits of cotton and other debris. A good clean is usually enough to get it going again.
