This does not happen often but if it does, follow this list to troubleshoot the problem before calling.

• Check the power supply.  The breaker may have blown.  Unplug the pump and plug in a radio or hair dryer to see if there is power.  If no power is at the plug, check reset on the GFIC breaker and check the fuse breaker on the main fuse panel in the home or business.  If you have power, move to the next step.
• Check to see if water is low in the skimmer.  This will also burn up a pump.  The cause will be a dirty net in the skimmer or low water in the pond.
• Next, unplug and see if something is blocking the pump opening, such as a stick, frog, or turtle.
• If none of these work, call us.
