Apart from a minor drip at the rear of the pump mounting plate, it looked surprisingly good!! I decided to get really adventurous and try running water through the spray-tube...
And by golly, it worked fine!! I briefly peeked at the water flow inside and that spray tube was doing it’s thing! I ran it for while, drained out the water then tried another bucketful. Second test was just fine!! I was turning cartwheels on the driveway, I was so thrilled. Good thing we don’t have any neighbours in view of the house in Ogden... Next,... I will do another water test on the weekend and make sure I got all the drips, no matter how small. Once that’ s done – I will FINALLY get to re-assemble the machine! AND it will be turquoise when it is re-launched. I had to, didn’t I?? LOL |

transplants can be so dangerous especially at a time like this --50 years out! Hey that sensor switch in your sump is on Ebay right now.

I did a couple of additional tests with the pump running in 'wash' mode and I have to admit that I am stunned that this 'jury-rigged' door gasket that I put into the Frigidaire actually holds! I have since gotten my paws on an original door gasket but I am not sure if I should change this one or hold on the to spare in case the one on the pink 62 goes bad... Decisions, decisions!!

And there is still a tiny bit of 'water ooze' coming from somwhere around the pump... You can barely see it, but I have to be sure this baby doesn't leak even a trace of water vapour or Hubby will want to take it to the crusher! Trouble is, I really don't feel like taking that pump apart for a third time!

And for anyone who has ever wondered what the spray-tube wash action looked like... I couldn't resist doing this short video!
