Hello has any body have a way to check a water pump to see if its working ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not a mechanic / technician but what I do is with the engine warmed up , so
I know the engine cooling thermostat is open ( the top radiator hose is warm )
and without catching any clothing etcetera in the moving parts , I gently squeeze
the top radiator hose and than let it go slightly , if the water pump is working
I can feel a surge of engine coolant going through the hose

Maytag side by side has a new ice maker and a new water pump but the water is not getting to the ice maker what should you check next?
The water pipe from the pump to the ice maker is quite thin; check it to see that it is not plugged. Check to see that there is water also at the inlet to the water pump. If there is not, check that the pipe leading to the water pump is not plugged.

Check the water pump drive shaft. If water is leaking from the hole beneath the drive, it's definitely a bad water pump seal and you can't repair them.

Why would water be leaking from the engine of a Honda Civic?
check your water pump..it might be bad it could be your water pump, or it might be a leak in your radiator. check those first. If the water is green or orange, it is probably coolant, check water pump seal, radiator, radiator hoses, and maybe the heater core. If the water is clear and comes out when the A/C is on, it's condensation from the air conditioning. A/C condensation is perfectly normal.
What does the check valve do in the sump pump?
It keeps the water that is pumped out from flowing back into the sump when the pump shuts off. Most sumps discharge several feet above the hole the pump sits in. If there was not a check valve the sump would just refill and pump out the water over and over.
