  Elizabeth LevineJul 27, 2025
  If your Little Giant Water Pump doesn't turn on, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the pump is properly plugged in. Check the circuit breaker or fuse and turn it on or replace it if necessary. Also, inspect the float for any trash accumulation or obstructions that may prevent it from operating correctly; clean the float or clear its path. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the switch or motor may be defective, requiring service by an authorized service center.

Why my Little Giant 6EC-CIA-SFS Water Pump runs but does not discharge liquid?
- C
  Christopher VasquezAug 2, 2025
  If your Little Giant Water Pump runs but doesn't discharge liquid, consider these potential causes: The check valve might be installed backward; ensure the flow indicating arrow on the check valve body points in the correct direction. The check valve might also be stuck or plugged, requiring removal and inspection. The lift might be too high for the pump's capacity, so check the rating table. Additionally, the inlet to the impeller could be plugged, necessitating that you pull the pump and clean it. Finally, the pump may be air locked; in this case, shut the power off for about a minute, then restart. Repeat this several times.

What to do if Little Giant 6EC-CIA-SFS Water Pump will not shut-off?

  If your Little Giant Water Pump won't shut off, it could be due to a few reasons. A float or float rod obstruction could be the cause, so check their paths and provide clearance. The pump might be air locked; try shutting the power off for about a minute, then restart, repeating several times. If the liquid inflow matches the pump's capacity, a larger pump might be required. A defective switch could also be the problem; disconnect it and check with an ohmmeter (open-infinitive resistance when open, zero resistance when closed).

Why Little Giant 6EC-CIA-SFS does not deliver rated capacity?
- R
  robertomyersAug 15, 2025
  If your Little Giant Water Pump isn't delivering its rated capacity, several factors could be responsible. The lift might be too high for the pump; check the rated pump performance. Low voltage could be slowing the pump's speed; verify that the supply voltage corresponds to the nameplate voltage. A clogged impeller or discharge pipe could also be the issue; pull the pump and clean it, and check the pipe for scale or corrosion. Finally, impeller wear due to abrasives could reduce capacity, requiring impeller replacement.

How to stop Little Giant 6EC-CIA-SFS from cycling continually?
- J
  Joseph YoungAug 21, 2025
  To stop your Little Giant Water Pump from cycling continually: * Install a check valve in the discharge line if there isn't one, to prevent liquid from draining back into the sump. * Inspect the existing check valve for leaks and ensure it's operating correctly. * Consider that the basin might be too small for the inflow, and installing a larger basin might be necessary.
