Tigershark stops after a few seconds

[anthonyv]

I threw my Tigershark in this morning to clean up the pool after I changed the rubbery brushes because it was sliding down the walls, I could see the impeller kick in from the water movement. Then it stops. Normally, it would start moving almost right away. Today, it just sat there. I pulled it out, removed the filters, I threw it back in the pool, but it did same thing, ran for 3 sec, then stopped. No clogs, or debris. It did the same thing every time i re-powered. The cleaner is only 2 seasons old with minimal use. I only use it once a week as I have very little debris. Any suggestions to remedy this would be greatly appreciated.

My aquavac500 was doing the same thing. Turns out it was a motor issue. Luckily it was under warranty and just had a major overhaul which was covered.

Make sure your outlet is OK. I had a GFI outlet that caused some odd behavior like this when it would get wet from the rain. Resetting the outlet typically fixed the problem until I replaced it.

Hayward Tigershark problem diagnosis

Hi all - longtime reader, first time poster. I've got an about 4-5 year old hayward tigershark that I inherited from the previous owners of the current house. When I started using it over this past summer, I had to go ahead and replace several parts to get it up and running (one side...

Thanks for your answer. I was a out to tear mine apart for the third time when I tried your recommendation and voila...it worked!

I know this is an old thread but hopefully you could save some dollars

Tigershark stoped after a few seconds
Opened up the motorcase and opend the impellermotor. The impellermotor was stuck. Couldnt move it. After opening the motor and cleaning from carbon powder everything started to work.
