Rio 600 pump froze up

[spinman]

My PH stoped working. Seems that it froze up. Took it apart and cleaned the parts up a bit, but to no avail. I hear the inside vibrating when I plug it in, so I know the power is getting through.

Is it fried?

Sounds like one of the parts is not working. Take it apart again and see if any parts need adjusting

try soaking the parts in vinigar.. sounds like the impeller head isnt making proper contact if your getting a rattle.. could just need adjustment or a cleaned a little better..

I was ready to sh*tcan the damn PH when I decided to take apart the other working 600 I had to see if there were any differences between the two. It seems the chrome shaft on the working 600 moved freely while the shaft on the busted PH was frozen. I banged the shaft loose, scoured it with a green scotch brite pad and reassembled.

Works like a charm now.
