[C320-list] Shower/fridge drain pump

[Guy Smith]

If the pump is the same as mine (stock '97 C320, don't know the maker/model), the rubber diaphragms get clogged easily or deteriorate and need to be cleaned/replaced. I also installed a strainer before the pump to try to catch the crud before it gets to the pump. The strainer on the bulge and shower sump lines have done the trick for years now.

I thought my screen was clean but it still wouldn't pump so I replaced the pump. When I went to replace the pump I saw the entire hose was blocked inside. I now have a spare pump LOL!
