Dutch term or phrase: ...die krij je niet meer dicht
Volgen hun kun je er geheid van op aan dat de afvoerpomp vervangen moet worden omdat je de gelijmde pakkingen moet verbreken en die krij je niet meer dicht.

Our translator suggestion : you can count on having to replace the drain hose because the glued joints will have to be taken off and will need to be replaced because it will not be possible to put the old joints back on properly

Does this sound right?

Explanation:
what it says in Dutch is:
According to them you will definitely have to replace the draining pump as the glued gaskets need to be broken, and cannot be sealed again
