water pump overload.

[Les_5040898]

Can anyone suggest why the water pump in our sterling elite onyx keeps cutting out & display panel shows " pump overload " even though no one has touched a tap for an hour or more ? We are used to it sometimes happening when a tap is turned on - especially in the washbasin, but this is something new. When we had the van serviced last year & told the dealer about the pump sometimes overloading when turning the tap on,they could find no fault in the water system. It's driving us nuts !

is the pump trying to run when you have the tap closed? The reason i say this is some taps are micro switch controlled (IE. they switch the pump on when you start to turn them). I recently had a problem where my young son had partially turned the tap on in the bathroom (enough to turn the pump on but not enough to open the tap)luckely i noticed quickly enough so as not to damage the pump.

do you have a "pump running" light? this would quickly identify this.

hope this helps...

Gary, Thanks for the reply. The pump is a shurflow which works on pressure rather than micro switches.
