One of my pumps quit working this week- might be related to the colder weather (temps have dipped into the upper 20's overnight), but I don't know. We don't get cold enough here to really warrant a full winterization- this is as cold as it gets. This is just a pump for the waterfall, so the rest of the pumps seem fine.
When I turn it on, I hear the relay click, but thats it. I dont hear any other noise. I haven't been able to get out to check it out any further yet, but what all should I check?
- I plan to probe the voltage at the pump using my multimeter to make sure the relay is working
- I can try swapping the capacitor with an identical Whisperflo pump that is still working (used for spa jets) to see if that is the problem
- I will try to spin the pump by hand to make sure its not a bearing or something, although it seems that it would make some sort of noise if that was the case
- What else?
