Default Jebao WP-40 lifespan

I'm wondering how many people are still running their Jebao WP-40s?

Mine died a few days ago despite it no physical / water damages.

Has anyone else had theirs die?
If so, what died? The controller, The Pump, The wiring, etc.
How old were they?

What did you replace it with?

I had one not work again after cleaning it. Not sure why. Replaced with RW15.

Mine still working since the first group buy.

I had a DC pump with a faulty electrical cord that gave out but is now working with a new cord.

I had one die on me after about a year's use.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

I got a year out of one of my WP-40's also. It's exactly one year so I asked for a warranty. They sent me a replacement motor block but I had to pay $35 USD for a supposedly shipping charge.

Not a WP-40 but I have 2 WP-10s that ran for a year without problems. Currently out of my tank as I replaced them with RW-8s.

Default Jebao WP-40 lifespan

I had one WP40 crap out. Replaced it with I believe they're called RW40. And it started smoking from the cord today. I noticed it wasn't working and when I pulled it out of the water, it was smoking. The plastic has disintegrated in couple of areas. Only had it for about six months. Oh, and before that the new dual controller stopped working so I had to go back to the old single ones for the mp40s. I've really noticed Jabeo products having a very limited shelf life. I'll try to post a video. Very dangerous. And I'm again without a pump. Very frustrating. I'm thinking of not buying Jabeo anymore even if they are cheap. Don't mind the algae. Having a battle right now. https://vimeo.com/127648832https://vimeo.com/127648886
