  If your Power Fist Water Pump isn't running, there are several potential causes: 1. **No power:** Check the cables, plug, socket, and fuse to ensure they are properly connected and functioning. 2. **Motor overheats:** The liquid temperature may be too high, or the pump may be blocked by foreign contaminants. Eliminate the cause of overheating. 3. **Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is activated:** Switch on the GFCI. If it activates again, contact a qualified service technician.
