Tunze 6205?

[scottwhitson]

I have a tunze 6205 that has stopped working. My wife let it soak in vinegar for a few days while I was out of town and then put it back int the tank and it ran for a few days and has now stopped again. I am going to dissasemble and soak again but was wondering if there are any special ways of dissasembling this model. I know that the 6100 series has alot of parts to pull apart but if I remember right the 6205 just has the magnet and impellar assembly. Is this correct?

Is there anything special about cleaning this model?? Do you just pull the front cover off and pull the magnet and impellar assembly out or do you need to dissasemble further?

The only other part is the upper bearing this is at the base of the motor well check instructions for details here is a link to exploded view http://www.tunze.com/details.html?&L=1&C=IS&user_tunzeprod_pi1[prodid]=6205.700

A common cause of this problem is debris between the metal shaft and the drive unit, pull the drive unit off the shaft and soak them as seperate pieces and make sure the drive unit spins freely on the shaft.
