Filter Stopped Working

[peesa]

My Fluval Plus 3 has just stopped working for no apparent reason!?

I've taken it apart and cleaned it nothing seems to be stuck inside it - it just doesnt seem to be 'on' anymore.

Anyone have any idea what could have happened to it? This is my first filter so not sure of the things that normally go wrong?

If i do end up having to get a new filter should i put the old pads in it so i dont need to cycle tank again as its full of fishes now!

Just pull it up and down in the tank to get the water flowing through it.

Fixed it!!

If you read the instructions there is a little propellar inside which needs taken out and cleaned now and then ive done this and its working fine again!!
