This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Stones or hard debris in pump basket, Broken impeller vanes, Loose impeller on shaft

Safety first: Turn off power and close valves before opening the pump.

Clean basket: Remove the Aquaflow pump lid and strainer basket. Clear all debris.
Inspect impeller: Shine a flashlight into the impeller opening and look for foreign objects. Use long-nose pliers to remove any debris.
Check for play: Gently move the impeller (if accessible) to feel for looseness on the shaft.

If the impeller is cracked or loose, replace it with a compatible Aquaflow impeller and inspect the mechanical seal at the same time.
