as you can see in the photo it has snaped were the locating pin goes. also you can see how the counter weight has come into contact with the plastic gear.
when the shaft is in one peice the gear cant! come into contact with the counter weight so the shaft must have broken first then the gear has moved back and come into contact with the counter weight (this is my therory) so how did the shaft break its not under any load the impeller has no marks on it to sugest that it may have been jamed.
i hav orderd the parts and there very inexpensive but i dont want it to happen again.
