Getting at Fisher/Paykel water pump?

I believe my Fisher Paykel washer, GWL15 - has a burned out water pump (not rinsing/draining properly, burned smell). Where do I access the water pump on the machine, and how easy is it to fix myself?

Empty as much water out as possible by hand. Then tip machine back against the wall as far as possible. Look underneath at front right hand corner of plastic bowl & you will see drain pump. Remove thewiring plug & the earth wire. On the right hand side near the top of the pump, locate the white plastic holding clip. Gently pull it & rotate the pump clockwise 90 deg. It will then come down out of the bracket. Have a towel ready because there will still be a small amount of water come out. Also make sure power is off before starting the job.
