Hey guys, do you know if there’s any sort of way I can repair or replace the pump for the washtub in the Wilkins servis? |

It’s a quick simple and authentic repair to replace the lip seal . Dismantle the pump and remove the old worn seal . Clean out any soap deposits / scale from the seal housing and take the clean impeller shaft and housing to a bearing shop and they will measure the diameters . . Use good quality motor engineering silicone and not kitchen or bathroom products A tiny smearing of silicone will do the trick .
Electric pumps are fine if there is no alternative at all but replacement lip seals are so simple and quick . Good luck Darren |
