Problem with pump etc

[Pinto]

Got on site all working OK. Water pump stops and blows fuse, more than once. Bathroom taps not work either or flush on toilet. Fridge OK on electric. 7 Yr old Coa human VIP ser I ed 2 months ago. Had it from new
Ant ideas ?

Welcome, possibly the drop in the aqua roll pump is "stuffed" look at the bottom of it and try to turn the small impeller with a flat screwdiver. Check the tap ends, they unscrew and get blocked.

 

[Pinto]

Impeller fine. Bathroom and sink tap the same. Thought flush should work off battery anyway
Cooker OK on electric

 

[Hutch]

Yes Flush works seperatly , on the panel above the door, make sure the Master switch is ON. I have made this mistake this before.

 

[Hutch]

Also have you unhooked from the car.

 

[Pinto]

Yes master switch is on. With electric off on control surely battery should run flush.
No 10namp fuses left now so have to experiment tomorrow
Yes unhooked from car, filled boiler heated water flushed it, filling saucepan with water for spuds and everything stopped

Ok rethinking.

If the pump is blowing 10A fuses then it strongly points to the pump being faulty. Most likely the internal seals the are supposed to prevent water getting into the motor are likely to be damaged. These cannot be repaired it will need a replacement pump.

This type of damage can happen if the pump has been allowed to run dry for more than a few minutes. with no water flow the motor isn't cooled and the heat causes the internal plastic housing and seals to deform allowing water to get into the motor.

If the bathroom taps are not working, first clean the filters on the nozzle of the. These can block and ultimately prevent water flow. Otherwise if the taps don't start the pump then that suggests the microswitches in the taps may be damaged. Microswitches can be replaced and there are several video's on the internet to show how to do it.
