Pump Stopped Working!

[Sheridanp]

For no reason too. I unplugged my power bar tonight, and quickly plugged it back in. Everything worked but the pump. I tried several different plug-ins and stuff, but it's just not working. I looked at it several times, and I have put water in it many times too. Luckily I have an electric pump, barely used. What could be the problem?

You mean air pump or filter? If it has an impeller (an internal propeller attached to a magnet) , they get stuck and can be un-jammed with a pen or a knife...

Filter. I will check, thank you.

I just took it apart, cleaned the sponge and the two other things, and put it back. Does not work. It's just broken or something is clogged.

I still don't understand how I unplug the cord and it doesn't work after.

doesn't it need to be primed??? might check your owners manual about that

What's priming it?

I have no clue what is wrong. I picked it up, and it started running. Whatever, it works.

Allways clean the impeller too....
Ensure you know what priming is too...
