Tuzne Stream 6105 melted plug

[chaseadam]

The thermistor or some other electrical component attached to the plug inside the main line housing overheated to the point of melting the plastic housing along with an electrical burning smell.

I have replaced both sides of the plug as the heat melted the male plug inside the female plug, but the pump does not operate. It pulls 0.05 amps and I have double checked the correct polarity.

Has anyone experienced this? Anyone have advice on how to troubleshoot the electronics? It is possible the heat damaged the speed control circuit.

How old are the pumps? If less than 2 years and no water caused it, they would be under warranty. Even if you had to pay for repairs or parts to repair, they would be reasonable enough. Post in the Tunze forum or PM rvitko (Roger from Tunze USA) and they will help you.

Definitely older than 2 years. Thank you for the redirect.
