  Maria PriceAug 13, 2025
  There are several reasons why your KSB water pump motor might not start. It could be due to voltage issues, such as too low or no voltage. Try retightening loose connections or contacting your electrical supply authority. Another reason could be damaged motor winding or supply cable, which would need repair or replacement. Also, check if the fuses or automatic switches are suitable and replace them if necessary. In the case of a three-phase motor, failure of a phase can cause this issue; rectify loose connections, replace fuses, or consult an electrical authority.
