Over 98% of all sump pumps returned to the factory are actually free from defects in material and workmanship, and can usually
be traced back to one of the below situations. Please keep this sheet available in the unlikely event your sump pump should ever
need maintenance.
TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKLIST
1. Make sure unit is plugged
into a 115 volt grounded
outlet that will not be turned
off by a wall switch.
2. Be sure check valve is
installed and operating
properly. Replace check
valve if necessary.
3. Unit needs to be sitting level
in the pit. A concrete block or
other material can be used
to achieve this.
4. Check for dirt, rocks, mud
or stones under float rod.
This can keep the switch
mechanism from properly
turning on and off.
5. Check for foreign objects in
the base. The bottom plate
can be removed to clean
the impeller by taking out
the sheet metal screws and
removing the plastic bottom
cover.
6. NOTE: Some model sump
pumps include a nylon
screen. Lint and other build-
up should be removed from
screen area periodically.
