6201 stopped working ....

[magnus]

Hi!

I have 2 Tunze Stream 6201 running on a 7095 (Interval 2) since 6 months in my new 300 gallon reef tank (I bought them in december 2007 but was sitting on the shelf until I started up the new tank).

Both have worked perfectly and I have dismantled and cleaned them with vinegar every 2 months since there has been some, but not much, lime build up.

Now one of the 6201 has stopped. I did dismantle and cleaned again (there was nothing to clean). I also have tried running it without the 7095 and turned the little white speed knob to see if there was any dirt on the pot. causing the problem. I did also try swithing the power supplies between the two 6201. It still don't work. The drive unit/propeller turns around as it should when I turn it by hand.

The only thing I can see is that the bearing buch (3000.620) show a little, but symetric, wear. Since its so symetric, I don't know if its wear or just how it's designed. However this should not stop it from turning.

Is there any way I can test or meassure if the motor block is damaged ?

Anything else I can try ?

Best regards Magnus Petersson

Can you check to see if the transformer light is on? If the light is on, switch the transformer and run it on the other pump to see what happen. If the transformer work, check the connection (the little black box where you connect the power supply and controller. Make sure there is no water damage. If everything looks good but the pump still not running, send it in so Roger could fix it. He should be back on Monday.

Magnus,

I think it is the motor. What country are you in? You will need to send it in for repair/replacement.

Roger,

I'm in Sweden and I realize I can probably not fix this myself.

Today I contacted the local dealer and he will send it to Tunze Germany for warranty repair.

Thanks for your advice !
