Indesit IWME126 replacement drain pump query

The problem

The owner of an Indesit IWME126 washing machine reported that the fitted pump was an Askoll M254 and said it needed replacing. They could only find that exact spare at about £48 and wanted to know whether a cheaper alternative part number would fit.

Likely cause

Failed drain pump identified by the owner. A compatible Indesit drain pump was suggested as an alternative to the exact Askoll M254 listing, but exact cross-compatibility was not technically confirmed in the discussion.

What fixed it

The accepted reply recommended an 'Indesit Drain Pump Approved Spare' listed at £25. The owner said it looked the same and ordered it, intending to try it and return it if incompatible. No completed repair or successful fitment was later confirmed.

Checks to try

• Model confirmed as Indesit IWME126
• Existing pump identified as Askoll M254
• Visual comparison of the suggested pump with the original
• Suggested replacement stated to be an Indesit drain pump approved spare at £25
