Please help identify SMEG DW part

[MikeMar]

Greetings friends,

Model: SMEG STMW25S

During cycles, the part in the attached pic appeared to be leaking pretty severely and setting off aquastop. So I turned the machine over, took it out from its place underneath the sump, unclipped the small motor-looking assembly attached to it, taped the hose ends and filled it with water to see if the housing had been compromised. It definitely does not appear to be watertight in its current state.

After Googling and going through old forum threads, I suspect it is the housing for the 'circulation pump' for this DW, but am not 100% sure. (I know it is not the drain pump as I replaced that part recently.)

Would any more experienced DIYers be able to confirm/correct on me on this one? Thanks for your time!

Cheers,
M

I'm no expert but it looks like one of these to me https://www.espares.co.uk/product/e...te-washing-valve?pageNumber=4&ModelId=1369047

Holy moly- that is most definitely it!
I had a feeling the 'circulation pump' was a much larger part.
Will order it and hope for the best.
Much thanks, jj4091

Ps. I did comb through eSpares before posting and this part escaped me completely.
