[samsung] Paddle thing behind filter

[RobShep]

hi,

 

we have a Samsung P1253S

At the back of the filter Compartment at the bottom is some kind of paddle thing. 
it sits on the end of a spindle and my guess is that is mashes cruft around so as not to block the drainage.

 

the paddle has come off the spindle and makes a horrendous clanking noise as it occasionally catches.

Ive removed and the washes operates fine (On a spin) for now.
 

Some questions if I may.....

 

what are the consequences of this thing missing from the washer?

is it repairable? Or replaceable?

 

is it part of a field replacement kit for a larger component maybe?

 

any insight, gratefully received.

 

thanks

Hi. I might be misunderstanding but it sounds like the pump impeller which if it’s come off the shaft will mean the pump will no longer pump water?

Great,

You are right. Thanks a lot.

Knowing the right terminology helps. 

an image search for leads me to match it up exactly.

now I know what’s up I can find spares or help or both.

 

thanks again

Usually if the impeller has come off you will need a complete new pump.

Thanks

A new pump kit is £40 so I’ll swap it out.

couldn’t find one on the affiliate site above but have found one in the U.K.

Cheers.
