Nano Won't Restart

[Tobman]

I took my Nano out of the tank to clean it of algae, and now it won't restart. I can feel the juice going to it, but no action by the propellar. Any tricks to get it to restart?

What model is it? I would check that the shaft is stuck in the pump, it should not come out, also check that the drive unit is not stuck to the shaft by calcium deposits.

Roger, It's a 6025 A. The propeller turns freely in my hand, and I can feel the juice going to the unit, but nothing turns. I see no way to open it up to see inside, nor the skill. It is clean, and algae/salt free.

That is as far as it opens, there should be three parts, prop, front cover, back half. That's it. I suspect the propeller or disk is worn, the prop then sits too far back in the pump. Send it to me, I should get more pumps next week and we will replace it.

Thanks, to what address shall I send it?
