Note: If there appears to be a foreign object trapped under the impeller and it cannot be
freed by using the above procedure, it may be possible to clean out under the impeller area
by holding it under running water while spinning the impeller. To do this the pump housing
must be removed from the machine. If this fails to clear the obstruction, then the pump will
have to be replaced. To remove the pump housing, (refer to Section 10.20.)
(c) Refit the pump hood and cap ensuring the correct orientation.
(d) If water is in the machine, enter diagnostic mode and run the pump (refer to Section 6.1.2 for
LCD model and section 7.2 for LED model.) to drain the remaining water from the machine.
(e) After the water has drained, check for any other objects in the bowl.
On completion of service we recommend carrying out the SmartPump™ test routine (refer to
Section 4.9.10).

Note: The extractor mandrel was designed for the older shaft with the external thread,
however will work with the shaft on this machine with the internal thread.
(a) Follow procedures for Removal of Outer Tub From Cabinet. (Refer to Section 10.22).
(b) Lay the outer tub on its side before removal of the shaft. This ensures that the shaft does not
fall directly onto the floor.
Note: The shaft can only be removed towards the inside of the outer tub. Remove the
shaft. If the shaft is difficult to remove, use a puller and a mandrel. Refit the thick Stator
motor clamp plate onto the outer basket and secure with the four Stator mounting bolts.
The Stator clamp plate may be used to hold the legs of the puller in place.
