Default Speed wave DC pump quit working
So around midnight my RP quit. I unplugged it. And took apart to clean thinking something may have been in there. But it was clean. Just a bacterial film on it.

Tried different setting but all it does I'd turn slow about 6x and stops.
Any idea

I'd return for warranty, I've had two of these pumps seize up on me as well.

Make sure you can grip the front disc of the impeller assembly and you can freely turn the magnetic shaft. Mine siezes all the time I hate it.

I've had power supplies and controllers fail as well so for sure could be the issue but the controller wouldn't lite up at all for both failure modes.

The controller lights up.

I test a controller a while ago that would show it was working but wouldn't bump up the pump.

On way to lfs so we will see
