How do I replace the drain pump on a Bosch SGS3062GB2?

[jimn10]

I've bought the pump and had the machine upside down and got as far as getting the metal shield off at the bottom, but I cannot see the pump or how to remove it.

Thanks for any help

I take it it is the drain pump ??

usually at front left hand side of sump

 

[breezer]

usually at front left hand side of sump

that assumes they know where the sump is

Yes that's right at the front left and it is the drain pump - a piece of glass got through by the impeller and stripped about half the blades off.

take lid off
take the sides off
undo the 4 bolts in each corner that hold the base to the cabinet
undo all the inside sump t20 bolts
you can actually ease the cabinet up and get your hand in to undo the electrics
undo the pipes and twist the pump off its position
fitting is reversal

alternatively tip machine back slightly when unplugged
remove kick strip and access it from the front
or if you are lucky enough to have one with removable metal base plate 'tip appliance back a little remove plate and you can access it there

simple twist fit type 'make sure you depress the locking lug before twisting'
