hi all,
i looked and didnt find another post about this so i thought i would share what i had and did.
my coach has not seen the road in a while. it stays inside my shop and stays cozy in there...
when bob was here with his 07, he graciously helped me put back together my grohe shower valve and filters. i had it apart and got new parts but with my bum knee and being the size of sasquatch, i just couldnt kneel or stoop in that small shower to get it back together.
after it was all back together i turned on the headhunter mach pump and no water. turn on the 12v backup pump and there was water.
i did the prime like headhunter says. no go.
so today i went out to play in the shop. i turned the pump on and went to the water bay where the pump is. it was buzzing and the pump was not spinning. after a couple of minutes it would shut off and flash the alarm red light on top of the pump. then it would cycle every few minutes doing the same thing.
i called headhunter and talked to a nice tech. he said there is a plastic plug in the end of the pump opposite the inflow plumbing. take it out with a flat screwdriver. it is plastic with an o ring. in my case the pump is facing such that i could not see the plug. fortunately a short stubby screwdriver would get it and i took it out. next he said inside the hole is the shaft that spins and it has a flat screwdriver slot on it. it should spin freely. i used a boroscope to see where the shaft was. i put the stubby screwdriver in and it was bound up. with some gently force, i was able to spin it back and forth until it was free.
i assume the sitting didnt help this thing.
i put the cap back in, turned the pump and and wallah......there is water.
he said if that didnt fix it, that it was likely a starter cap which is under the top panel of the pump.
