Any ideas, sounds like the motor is tight to me but wondered if anyone else had similar issue and how it was resolved

your observation could be right as this also happens to water pumps after standing for some time.not tight more silted up.you could give the motor a soak in milton and water to remove the silt/algae before you go then drain off.the first sign of sticking when you initially switch on will blow the fuse.

I had this problem on mine it kept blowing the fuse inside the locker door where the casette goes, I took the toilet roll holder out and found the pump had burnt out nearly, I got a new pump of ebay for around a tenner been ok ever since.

... Tested yesterday and found pump had indeed seized, turned impeller forwards and backwards a few times and freed up so refitted, all working OK.
