Miele G646 SC Plus dishwasher leak, posible circulation pump

[spacey3]

I've just taken the Miele G464 SC Plus dishwasher we have apart as the pump was constantly on. The bottom was full of water and activated the leak protection system. I cleared out the water and run the machine again, this time I noticed that around the circulation pump at the rear of the machine water was constantly dripping.

I have the Miele catalogue and have seen from the exploded diagram that you can replace the seals within the circulation pump.

I wanted to find out if you can easily buy these seals or are they custom only to Miele? Also how do you remove the circulation pump?

Should I also replace anything else in the pump to refurbish it before putting it back together?

To access the circulation pump lie the DW on its back & remove the baseplate.
Note down the nameplate details & speak to Miele. They should be able to supply you with a seal kit.

Thanks all done, seems its the first plate other than the second that the rubber seal has degraded, alas Miele want £64.42+VAT for the item, tad on the overpriced area.

Found a possible solution (only been fixed for 24 hours so we will see if it continues to work).

It was the rubber seal behind the rotor that degraded and had a 6mm cut in it. The solution since I was unable to find a seal and didn't want to buy a complete replacement kit as it was not required was to obtain some marine grade silicone, this one worked between -55 +150c and silicon the rubber.

Hopefully that would have fixed the hole and resulted in a small outlay of £7 rather than £90 for the new part.
