Hello, my ~8 year old Pentair Intelliflo is showing a Alarm! Priming Dry error. The pump doesn't sound like it's trying to prime at all. It doesn't make a sound. The rpms and watts will rise until it times out, but no sound. I'm running it via a Pentair EasyTouch control system. I can manually move the impeller by reaching in past the skimmer basket. Any ideas on what else to try?

When you move the impeller does the fan on the back of the motor move as well? If not the impeller has broken.Hello, my ~8 year old Pentair Intelliflo is showing a Alarm! Priming Dry error.

You say the RPM and watts rise but the pump doesn't make a sound. Is it actually running? Can you see/feel the fan move?yes, the fan moves as well
No, I can't hear it or see/feel the fan move. The display shows RPMs and wattage rising and then it times out and shows the priming dry error.You say the RPM and watts rise but the pump doesn't make a sound. Is it actually running? Can you see/feel the fan move?
