  If your Steinberg Water Pump stops shortly after starting due to the thermal motor protection, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the electrical supply matches the type plate information using a GS-compliant device to check the connection cord voltage, observing all safety information. Also, check for and remove any blockages in the pump or intake openings. The liquid might be too viscous, consider thinning it if possible, or the liquid temperature might be too high, so ensure it's within the recommended range. Finally, the pump may be running dry; identify and eliminate the causes of dry-running.

  If your Steinberg Water Pump's motor runs but no liquid is discharged, check for the following: ensure that the intake openings and the pressure line are free from clogs. If there is air inside the pump body, try restarting the pump a few times to expel it. Also, verify that the minimum suction level is adequate and that the floating switch is correctly set and moves freely. If a check valve (non-return valve) is installed, inspect it for blockages or damage.

  If your Steinberg Water Pump isn't discharging liquid and the motor isn't running, begin by checking for power. Use a GS-compliant device to verify voltage, observing all safety information, and ensure the plug is correctly positioned. If the thermal motor protection has been triggered, disconnect the pump, let it cool down, and identify/resolve the cause. Also, check if the pump wheel is blocked and remove any obstructions.
