New water pump

[roy. bottle]

Help needed please,water pump has stopped working on checking fuses found fuse had blown so far so good but after fitting the new fuse this has. Lien also,in fact I have renewed fuse twice each time new fuse has blown.any advise on what to try next if anything would be appreciated

 

[KUSKUS]

Disconnect wires from water pump and try again , if it still blows the fuse you know its not the pump.

 

[roy. bottle]

Thanks Kuskus will give it a try.had tried it again off grid but has still blown the fuse

 

[roy. bottle]

Looks like it may be the pump as following your advise fuse is still intact.is there anything else we can try do you think

 

[mitzimad]

depends on which btype of pump you have if its in tank just replace external may be worth stripping down

Pump is submerged in tank

 

[KUSKUS]

If its the normal hymer submerged pump just remove it from the water tank and see if its seized .
Probably best to replace it , should be some online at reasonable price

fuse for pump keeps blowing? pump = FUBAR

Water gets inside. They rust and seize causing the fuse the blow.
This is one that blew fuses which I cut open to find out why........

My 2018 Hymer is now on on it's 3rd pump.

A pump probably needs replacing every couple of years.
I always carry a spare, including at least a couple of the seals and the plug/socket.

3 pumps in seven years, always carry a spare, crap in the impeller will also blow fuse same as ice

Exact same situation as we had whilst away. New pump fitted under warranty but now we carry a spare.

Cheers again for comments

Amazon.es will deliver to a campsite or any address in Spain.

Search for 'Reich' and identify suitable replacement.

Good Luck.

Wow.

Our 2015 Hymer B678 is still on its first pump. Have a spare in the garage but never needed. Touch wood.

Knackered is another technicians word for buggered - means the same thing - replace the kit.

Remember, blue is + on the 12v electrics side, and brown -. It looks wrong, but it's the colour way Hymer use.
It well probably run in reverse, just not as effectively. Also, check the direction of the non return valve on the top of the pump, that won't allow water through if put back on the wrong way up, "another T shirt I have "

Normally fairly reliable unless you run them dry.
Time to fit a Sureflo.

How long did it take you to move the steering wheel, gear knob and pedals. Thinking about doing that to my van so my wife can drive instead of me (y) I would complain you have been sold a duff van, proper German vans always come with the steering wheel on the left & a driver's door.:LOL:

Just experienced a dead water pump (habitation) in our 2020 Hymer.
Performed all the ancillary checks only to confirm the pump was the offending article.
So a 36 mile round trip bike ride from Port Grimaud down the coast to a dealer.
Fortunately a very kind chap next to us on the site who happened to be a plumbing and heating engineer swapped it out for me, as I had very little idea.
All is well again, except for the dent in my wallet!
Hopefully this one will last slightly longer…..
