Trouble
Motor won’t turn.
Starts, but immediately
stops.
Operates, but stops after
a while.Thermal protector
is activated.
Does not pump.
Inadequate volume.
Overcurrent
Pump vibrates;
excessive noise during
operation.
Cause
(1) Foreign matter hinders level control float from functioning
properly.
(2) Power failure.
(3) Large voltage unbalance.
(4) Significant drop in voltage
(5) There is an open phase
(6) Faulty circuit connection
(7) Blown fuse
(8) Faulty starter
(9) Defective float
(10) Malfunctioning circuit breaker
(11) Foreign matter clogging pump
(12) Motor is shorted out
(13) Motor bearings are frozen
(1) Prolonged dry operation has activated motor protector
and caused pump to stop
(2) High liquid temperature has activated motor protector
and caused pump to stop
(1) Reverse rotation
(2) Valve is closed or partially clogged.
(3) Significant drop in voltage
(4) Discharge head is too high
(5) Large piping loss
(6) Low water level during operation causes vortexing (air
suction)
(7) Leak in discharge piping
(8) Clog in discharge piping
(9) Foreign matter clogging pump
(10) Worn impeller
(1) Large discrepancy between power source and voltage
(2) Significant voltage drop
(3) There is an open phase
