  If your Franklin Electric water pump isn't starting, consider these potential causes: * The pump might not be properly connected to electrical power: connect the pump to a dedicated GFCI circuit. * The circuit breaker may be off, or the fuse may be removed: turn on the circuit breaker or replace the fuse. * Debris accumulation on the float: clean the float. * Float movement obstruction: remove the tank and check the float's path, clearing any obstructions. * The switch or motor could be defective: in this case, replace the pump.

Why won't my Franklin Electric Water Pump shut off?

  If your Franklin Electric water pump won't shut off, here are a few possible reasons: * There might be an obstruction in the float movement path: remove the tank, check the float's path, and clear any debris. * The liquid inflow might be exceeding the pump's output capacity: a larger pump may be required. The high level switch should shut off the A/C unit or signal an alarm. Check the pump high level switch connection to the A/C unit (or alarm circuit) and leads to the correct switch terminals. * The switch could be defective: replace the pump.

  If your Franklin Electric water pump runs but isn't discharging liquid, consider the following: * The check valve might be stuck or plugged: remove the check valve and inspect for proper operation. * The lift might be too high for the pump: check the rated pump performance. * The inlet to the impeller could be plugged: pull the pump and clean it. * The outlet flow might be obstructed: check the outlet tubing for kinks or blockages, and clear any slime or debris. Clean the inlet and outlet piping.

Why is my Franklin Electric Water Pump not delivering its rated capacity?
- J
  Jennifer WarnerAug 20, 2025
  If your Franklin Electric water pump isn't delivering its rated capacity, check these potential causes: * The check valve might be stuck or plugged: remove the check valve and inspect for proper operation. * The lift might be too high for the pump: check the rated pump performance. * There might be low voltage, causing the speed to be too slow: check that the supply voltage matches the nameplate rating. * The impeller or discharge pipe could be clogged: pull the pump and clean it. Also, check the pipe for scale or corrosion.
