Eheim 1250 repair

Didn't find anything when I did a search. The eheim 1250 on my ATB skimmer died and wondering if anyone repairs these? Is there a DIY on repairing pumps?

The issue is the motor block is not spinning the impeller and instead just gets warm.

Thanks,
 
Is the magnet swollen? If not you can just buy another 1250 pump and see if the impeller works in that pump. Is there any 3 rd party fitting glued to the eheim pump? Have you tried contacting Anton in Austria?
 
Is impeller shaft broken? Is there string preventing impeller from turning? Is there a rubber bushing on each end of the shaft? Does each rubber bushing sit correctly in its proper holder? Is the magnet still in fact glued to the impeller, so that the plastic vanes are actually spinning when the magnet spins? Is there any electricity getting to the motor, so you can hear it hum or feel it vibrate (ie, no internal break in electric cord).
 
no, the impeller, shaft, etc is fine. i put it into my spare 1250 and it works. the issue appears to be the motor block.

since the block is atb modified for the skimmer, i'd like to just repair it.
