  Nicole RyanAug 14, 2025
  If your Kessel Water Pump isn't running, it could be due to several reasons: * There might be no mains voltage available, in which case you should check the mains voltage. * The main power circuit breaker might have tripped; try switching it on again. * A damaged connection cable could be the issue; this should be repaired only by qualified electricians or service partners. * The pump may have overheated; it will switch back on automatically once the temperature drops. * A defective float switch can also cause this problem, in which case you should contact Customer Services.

  Carrie JonesAug 17, 2025
  Reduced performance in your Kessel Water Pump can stem from a few causes: * The intake cage might be blocked, requiring you to clean the pump. * A blocked ventilation pipe can also reduce performance; clean the ventilation opening. * Worn components such as the spiral housing or the multi-vane impeller can also lead to reduced performance. Consider replacing the spiral housing or the multi-vane impeller.

  A max run time issue in your Kessel Plumbing Product can occur if the pump is running too long per pumping process or if the ventilation is not working. Check the design and clean ventilation bores. You may need to adjust the run-on time using the potentiometer in the control unit, setting a shorter duration.

  Your Kessel Water Pump might not be running due to several reasons: there could be no mains voltage, the main power circuit breaker may have tripped, the connection cable might be damaged, the float switch could be defective, or the pump may be overheating. Check the mains voltage and switch the circuit breaker on again. If the connection cable is damaged, it should only be repaired by qualified electricians/service partners.
