Replacement pump for RE Double Cone-250

[NiXoN]

Hi all!
Have a small problem with my skimmer as the motorblock seems to have given up.
The pump has a go att running but gives up almost directly, no clogging or anything like that.

But what I would like some help with is the model of Laguna pump I could use to replace the motorblock(50hz version).
I have had some suggestions from reefers but i was wondering if anyone knew for sure.

Thanks for any help you can give...

First, even though I'm sure you've cleaned it, go back and take the pump apart one more time for a very thorough cleaning.

Soak it and the impeller in pure, white vinegar for at least an hour...scrub as needed to eliminate any buildup. Buildup is much easier to see if you can let the pump and parts thoroughly dry out first.

Then thoroughly rinse everything in clean water - specifically paying attention to rinse away any particulates - before you reassemble the pump. It only takes the tiniest grain of nothing in the wrong place in the impeller well to mess up a skimmer pump's whole day.

But if that still doesn't help...

For a replacement pump, I usually look at the Tunze Hydrofoamers first to see if there's a good replacement size.....@rvitko can probably help you figure that out.

Can you tell us the Amp rating on your current pump?

I usually do an citric-acid bath a few times a year witch means you can clean it off quite easily resulting in a "brand new" look.
The firs thing I did was to disassemble and clean so there is no clogging och smal particulate mater.

What i´m looking for is an replacement motorblock for the red dragon pump, impellers and other parts are ok and the fault behaves like an electrical issue.
The red dragon pumps are actually regular pod pumps often sold as Laguna pumps, however there are several models and I´m at an bit of an loss as to the model I need.
The company is understandably not too helpful when it comes to info that could give a hint ;)
The only data says "upp to 60 watts" and there are a couple of possible pumps in the range...
