Our Samsung WD80N645OOW has stopped draining. It makes some gurgling noises and sounds unhealthy. The assumption is the drain pump has gone, however, it's a 2-pump unit, drain pump and circulation pump.
The question is, despite looking different, do the pumps technically differ? Are they interchangeable? My understanding is one is a Drain pump, and one is a Circulation pump. Looking at them, they physically differ, but spec wise, they seem to be the same/similar. As if not, I'm finding it awfully tricky to find the right bits. Searching "drain pump" reveals images of what I think, according to this video is actually the circulation pump;
When searching for the components, I see many many results. Is it simply a case of the images on these sites being inaccurate, and going largely by spec, or, is it a case of Samsung using two different brands of pumps (Askoll and Wuxi Haoli in my unit?) as a way of balancing the load, in case one model fails quicker than the other?

This for example, is the complete unit. £120, Two pumps and drain body. Whereas a single pump can be found for £10-60 depending on whether you shop at AliExpress or "PartsCenter" etc...
On the basis they seemingly sell "universal pumps", I'm hopeful, colours aside, it's a case of one pump will do either job, or the difference in size/shape, is just due to the different brands. Given the time of year, I don't want to be waiting on a part to arrive, and then find I need to order another.
