How to fix Korilla Pump?

[Pazzoman]

Hey Everybody, I noticed one of my korilla pumps not working, so I cleaned it up real good... removed all the algae. I placed it in warm water in a bucket to help clean it out. It seemed to work for a short time...I put it back in the tank yesterday seem to work... then I checked it this morning an I just can't get it to work. I feel the motor vibrating but just not spinning the piece...any ideas?

If you unscrew the front guard the blade will slide out with the magnet on the end. Try to take that out and clean it all out good. Every once in a while my koralia will stop spinning after I unplug it for a bit. I feel it vibrating too and all I do is give the blade a push and it starts right up.

Thanks for the input, I've done what you suggested and it still didn't work however I think it was a problem with the magnet inside the pump... I brought it to the lfs and they gave me a new one free of charge because I had the box.

They gave you a whole new koralia? Nice! Sorry I couldn't solve it for ya.

Lol something about keeping the box with the equipment... then they mail it thee the actually koralia place for a refund... something like that he was telling me. Oh well I saved money, so I'm not complaining lol
