Turn the filter on, vibrates but doesn't turn the impeller
by Cody
Just like it says, I plug it in and it won't turn the impeller, if I have the top off and manually turn it while plugged in it will start working, but as soon as the retaining cap goes on it stops. I tried replacing the impeller and the new one works worst than the old one.... Do I just need a new motor/or to replace the filter?? A: You don't say how old the filter is but it sounds like your rotor/impeller has lost its magnetic strength and you need to replace it. There is a lot of information in the performance section of our web site and it is covered in the DIY video section as well. Below is a direct link to all the parts. |
