Hoover AM120 Pump faulty?

[0v01d]

12 months ago I replaced the pump on my AM120 - the blades were oscillating - not rotating. This worked fine for a year but the replacement is now doing the same.

Am I unlucky, or is there more to this? (All water pipes clear of obstructions)

Any comments welcomed.

Just unlucky I guess nothing I know of can overun or cause the pump to premetually break down although it sounds like the impeller shaft has sheared there would be an increased likelyhood of this happening if there was a coin or foreign hard or metal object caught in the pump housing.

Hi Tockwoth,

Thanks for the comments. With the pump removed and on the bench in the workshop the blades just oscillate (quickly !) . I guess a replacement is the way forward.

Cheers.
