[C320-list] Shower sump pump woes

[KEN GEIGER]

SCOTT, you can "better" access the shower pump by removing the bins and frame behind the aft cabin door.  Still not easy.  I have had my pump out and apart to clean and it worked after.  Not sure what one calls that type of pump, multiple diaphragm??????, but has 4 or so valve sealing surfaces that can get dirty.

( We couldn’t hear it over engine noise. ) Later I noticed more water in the fridge from defrosting and tried the pump again. Nothing pumped out. I correctly thought the filter might be clogged and so we removed it and cleaned it. But the pump won’t prime at all now. Thoughts?  Do I need a new pump?  Any priming tricks welcome.

 And what kind of contortionist installed that thing in the first place. I can look at it through the door under the sink, or I can sort of get my hands in there, but not both at once.
