Tap on it or bump it.

i would clean it, i had that happen with my skimmer pump and it ended up just having a chunk of cheato (and a small peice of mesh) stuck

I agree, take it apart and clean it out with alot of fresha water and any type of brush you may have. Once put back together, run water over the inlet of the pump and turn it on to cycle fresh water thru it for a few seconds.
