Bad IC pump that still works?

My IAT2s are way too high.... No flow of water in the neck either. It used to flow but no longer...

I got a new pump and today I went to install it and disconnected the old one, just out of curiosity, I tapped on the old one and reconnected the plug.

The pump turned on, but still no water flow.

Anybody else had this problem? Wierd how it turns on but no water flow

this is why the pumps die and tapping them usually works for a little while...sealed brushed motor, all the dust from the brushes has no where to go so it gets in the motor and brushes and makes a bad connection and stops working lol...mine died so i took it apart and all this **** came out and put ir back together and works again(i still replaced it though)





as far as why you have no flow with the pump on i have no idea

A dieing IC pump might kick back on if you hit it or bump it. Doesn't mean it's still good though.
