did you check the impeller on your pump and clean it .Most have a magnetic shaft that some gravel gets behind and did you check your circuit breaker

Hello, All I can recommend is first check your power supply , wiring, fuse ect.. then pull your pump out of your pond remove cover and filter then check your Impeller. Goodluck

my old pump would lock up in the last few years of service. There wasn't anything physically stopping the impeller... it just needed a "jump"... which for me meant literally waking the whole pump with a stick ... and it would start back up.
