lordx Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Just got my pump out for the summer, and when I plugged it in, it just hummed (sounds like its TRYING to do something, just nothing happens) Could it be something is jammed inside? Is there a way for me to look inside, and/or take pliers and get the thing moving? I can always upload photos if that would help! Thanks for any ideas.

Try rapping the motor end lightly with a rubber hammer or something that will jar it pretty good. This sometimes works to free up a motor that has been sitting not being used. I don't think anything would be jammed the starting current is not spinning the motor into motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordx Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Excellent suggestion, it worked after the 4th hit! I am a computer tech, so I forget sometimes that if things dont work you just take out your frustrations and smash em! Heh, thanks again!
