Our FP IWL12 has developed a small leak under the machine. Tipped the machine over and the only area which seems to have water on it is the bottom of the pump. So i assume I need to replace the pump...Is it difficult or can it be done without calling in expensive repairmen???? What else could it possibly be??? So far everything else seems to be runnig great. Please help :)
First confirm the source of the leak. Dry the pump and all areas around it. Run a wash cycle and then check pump again. You should be able to see where the leak starts from. If it is definitely the pump, it is easy to remove. Take off wire plug & earth wire. Hold out the white plastic clip on the side of the pump and rotate pump quarter turn anti clockwise. Pump will then come out. Do the reverse to put pump back. Make a note of which way the pump faces before you take it out. Also, make sure power is unplugged before you do any work.

After taking all apart and putting back together 3 times looking for some type of clog in the pump area I decided to take the hose off that is located underneath the washer. There I found a penny!
All better! I love my fisher paykel! I personally fixed it.....saved myself $95.00 per half hour and parts. Since i am a woman lots of times a repairman would have said I needed a new pump!
