Hi I Have A Tetra Fs 30-60 Whisper Won't Turn On When Plugged In.

How can I fix this.

Sometimes when I plug my filters ( 2- Aquaclear 60's) back in, they won't pump water either. My motors are working but the impellers just won't spin. If that's the case with yours, it's an easy fix.  I just move the intake tube to the side so that I can see into the motor and impeller, and use a wooden skewer or my planting tweezers to give the impeller a small nudge, and that gets it spinning. That I get the intake tube back into place and I also fill the filter 1/2 way with tank water. Make sure you're never running your filter without water in it, that's a sure way to burn the motor. Help this helps!!!!

No its not doing anything acts like its not plugged in when it is never been ran without water either

Yikes, not sure then. I would say you probably have to replace the motor, but that's much cheaper than buying a new filter.
