Pump runs but there is a strong burning smell near the motor.

Safety first: Turn off power immediately if you smell burning. Do not continue to run the pump.

• Inspect for visible damage: Look for smoke, discoloration, or melted plastic on the motor housing or terminal box.
• Check for obstructions: Ensure the impeller and pump are not blocked and that valves are correctly positioned to avoid overload.
• Do not restart repeatedly: Repeatedly trying to run a burning motor can cause fire or further damage.
• Plan replacement: A burning smell usually indicates serious internal damage. Replace the Kripsol motor assembly or complete pump as recommended by a technician.
