Troubleshooting

Problem
The motor will not run.
The motor runs hot and the
overload kicks off.
The motor runs but not water
is delivered*.
* (Note: Stop the pump; then
check the prime before
looking for other causes.
Unscrew the priming plug and
see if water is in the priming
hole).
Possible Cause
1. The disconnect switch is off.
2. The fuse is blown or circuit breaker tripped.
3. Wires at the motor are loose, disconnected, or
wired incorrectly.
4. Pressure switch contacts are dirty.
1. The voltage is too low.
2. The pump cycles too frequently.
1. Pump in new installation did not pick up
prime through:
a) Improper priming
b) Air leaks
c) Leaking foot valve or check valve
2. Pump has lost prime through.
a) Air leaks
b) Water level below suction pipe inlet
3. The foot valve or strainer is plugged.
4. The ejector or impeller is plugged.
5. The check valve or foot valve is stuck shut.
6. Pipes are frozen.
7. The foot valve and/or strainer are buried in
sand or mud.
8. Water level is too low for shallow well setup
to deliver water.
Corrective Action
1. Ensure the switch is on.
2. Replace the fuse or reset circuit breaker.
3. DISCONNECT POWER; check and tighten all
wiring.
4. DISCONNECT POWER and clean the electrical
contacts.
1. Check with the power company and install
heavier wiring if the wire size is too small.
2. See the section below on the pump cycling too
frequently.
1. In new installation:
a) Re-prime according to instructions.
b) Check all connections on the suction
line, AVC, and ejector with shaving
cream.
c) Replace the foot valve or check valve.
2. In installation already in use:
a) Check all connections on the suction line
and well seal.
b) Lower the suction line into water and re-
prime. If receding water level in the well
exceeds 25 ft. (7.6 M), a deep well pump
is needed.
3. Clean the foot valve or strainer.
4. Clean the ejector or impeller.
5. Replace the check valve or foot valve.
6. Thaw pipes. Bury pipes below the frost line. Heat
the pit or pump house.
7. Raise a foot valve and/or strainer above the
bottom of the water source. Clean the foot valve
and strainer.
8. A deep well pump may be needed (over 25 ft. to
water)to deliver water.
