water pump failure

[zomig]

Water pump failing to pump water to faucets, toilet. Can't hear pump running when faucets turned on & no water flow. Checked fuses & ok. How difficult is it to install new water pump...(a little mechanically challenged?). Are replacement water pumps relatively standard? Found SHURflo 4008-101-E65 3.0 Revolution water pump. Am wondering if this pump will work in my 2012 Landmark Key Largo. Any thoughts?

Did you check to make sure that your Anderson valve has been turned back to ”normal” after filling your fresh water tank?

Mike R....Yep, did that

How about the switch?

Does the red light in the switch come on?

If you do change out a water pump, it's very easy. Look at the Flowjet VSD water pump as a replacement--it's much quieter.

X2 on the Flojet VSD. Had one and never turned it off. Even when City hook ups the pump would kick in when demands required. i.e.. flush toilet while someone is showering. We all know what happens when you do that. Great pump, wish I would've removed it from the other trailer before trading it.

John.....Red light does come on

Did you check the fuses with a meter?

If you're looking for the LED to illuminate next to a blown fuse, that only happens if there's a load on the circuit; i.e. pump is turned on. Even if the fuse is blown, the LED in the switch can get enough power to light up.

Also, you probably have a 2nd pump switch in the UDC. Try that one. Maybe your inside switch has a problem.

danemayer....What is the UDC?

danemayer....What is the UDC?

UDC=Universal Docking Center, where your water, satellite and cable TV connections are made.

When you say you cannot hear the pump, is this from inside the trailer? Open the basement door by the UDC and see if you can hear a whirring sound. If you can, then the pump is running but sucking air. Let us know

Shurflo pumps were notorious for failing and customers being stuck with "OEM" part number pumps with a 1 year warranty instead of an over the counter warranty of 3 years.
I had a couple of them fail. I would consider another brand if your pump is bad.

Also check the wiring at the pressure switch on the pump to make sure it didn't become disconnected.
