Are they leaking from the pressure switch area?

Mine once did the same. It could depend how bad the damage is but I just dismantled the bottom of the pump where it was leaking (no pressure switch on mine as use varistream) & put it back together.

I can't remember exactly what's in there but I remember a spring & little rubber sealing ring. I reckon it got dislodged with the ice expanding & so wasn't seated right on the thawing. All sweet when I reassembled.

Worth a try guys. ;)

I've had the same problem for the last week.

At the weekend I'm going to dismantle the pump (where it's leaking from) and re-assemble.

In the meantime I bought a second hand ex-demo pump off of ebay for £39.99 just incase it's terminal  ;)
