CHEZURAquarium decisions A silent motor and a humming motor imply different paths. Protect livestock, floor and electrical supply before opening anything.
Confirm breaker, strip and timer without touching wet connections. Remove any damaged cable from service.
With power isolated, confirm full chamber, open valves and submerged intake.
Remove grit and inspect rotor shaft. Allow specified thermal reset time.
If correct reassembly fails, replace or service rather than bypass protection.
| Situation | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Completely silent | Verify safe power supply | Separates electrical fault |
| Hums without flow | Unplug and inspect prime/rotor | Prevents overheating |
| Cable damaged | Remove from use | Electrical hazard |
After verify safe power supply, measure or observe Completely silent again with the same method. Record Never energise dismantled equipment. as well; if neither changes as expected, revisit the diagnosis before adding another intervention.
