I just got in an ASM Mini-G Skimmer today, and I've been having some issues with it. Every so often the pump randomly just shuts off. The only way for it to work again is for me to remove the impeller and then put it back together. It's pretty warm on the impeller shaft and inside the housing. Bad pump perhaps?

It sounds like a bad pump or missing pieces in the impeller assembly leading to it over-heating and locking up.

Could just be build up on the impeller shaft, try soaking in vinegar overnight.

Shouldnt be any build up. It's brand new. Was only ran for an hour.
