6201 stopping

[garysmyth06]

Hello

Got a 6201 pump. Trouble is it will run for a while, then stop for a while then start again etc. Psu giving 24v out continuous, so that seems ok. Could it be the impeller or is it goosed.

Thankyou

It is most likely the pump is starting to fail. Usually this indicates that at some point the pump overheated and the circuit board cracked when all the innards of the pump expanded from overheating. When it cools down, the contacts reconnect, when it heats up they separate. With the later pumps we coated the board in silicon first so it has some give and this doesn't happen much anymore as a result. The best bet is likely a 6201.015 set, this will be a 6155 pump complete with an adapter clamp and it will work with your power supply and holder.
