Disconnect the pump electrical connector when doing that. Not sure how fragile the electric on this but that would run a pump as a generator and force power back into the driver electronics.

Might as well do it properly - the pump connector is just as inaccessible as the rest!

It has to be a fast wipe,melt the plastic and wait a few seconds for it to reharden , before repeating . The kitchen roll will be filthy and need turning anyway after one pass
