Almost new 3152 not working

Had a Tunze 3152 that I bought beginning of April. Only stuck it in the tank end of April and already it has stopped working for the most part.

I noticed a good amount of micro-bubbles in my tank, which only usually happens when water level in back gets too low, so I go and check it and lo and behold the water level is half way down the back.

Check the outlet and everything to make sure ATO is on and plugged in and still no water. I check the float switch, it moves freely and works. So I try power cycling it, turns off then on and pump runs for about half a second then turns off. If i raise float switch and power cycle it, it wont turn the pump on until I drop float switch again, but again it will only run it for half a second or so, so I know the float-switch works.

RANDOMLY if I power cycle it a couple of times it will run for a day or so then develop the same problem.
 
This is most likely a bad pump issue, if you can email me your invoice we can send a replacement pump- Tunze at sbcglobal dot net
