6100 Sheared Propellor Shaft

[Johnsteph10]

Hey Roger,

Since I lack the proper terminology, on 1 of my 6100s the central white shaft that spins the propellor broke clean in 2.

A. How do I fix it?

B. Better yet, can it be fixed?

The point of breakage is right before the shaft enters the house (maybe a few mm sticking out).

I'm not sure how it happened - I clean my pumps every 3 or 4 months like clockwork and this is the first time I have ever had one malfunction. The beeping was horrible.

Thanks,

John

Yeah, that happens when the black bearing piece comes unclipped and it saws through the shaft over time- hence the clean cut. I can send you one, just shoot me a PM with your address. You could try crazy glue but it would be temporary at best.
