Tunze 6095, broken junction box

[jbfloor]

I had an unfortunate water spill incident recently and fried/corroded the junction box of one of my Tunze 6095 pumps. The pump itself seems to be ok and the 7096 controller is still working fine.

The part is circled in the picture below.


I have looked around and cannot find this part in the spare parts section of the Tunze site or anywhere else. Anyone here know how to get this part or has the schematics to it (I can build one myself if someone can point me to the wiring diagram)

I'd hate to have to replace a $200+ pump for what must be a less than $10 part.

Maybe someone has a dead pump lying around that you could cut the box off and re-wire onto your motor block?

I have one, but shipping from Aus to US would be expensive.

That's one option I am hoping for. I have checked on eBay, but broken tunze's are hard to find

Same thing happened to me, water flowed into the junction box but the 6055 was turned off. Maybe Roger knows.

If it had no power, you may be able to open it, clean it with distilled water, then alcohol (I prefer the isopropyl aerosol they use for cleaning circuit boards, you can really blast something with it and get under chips, etc, Fry's has it), then just used compressed air to dry it and let it sit for a day in a warm dry area to dry the rest of the way. Otherwise we can replace this part, but if no electricity was involved, it is likely salvageable.

It did have power at the time, but the 6055 seems not to have been affected. I think it got wet, but kept running until the corrosion finally made one of the power supply wires break. I may try to touch the wire to the connection to see if the pump still runs.

In that case it would be best to send it in, it is $25 to change that part.

The pump arrived today and is working perfectly. Thank you for your great service.
