My Eheim Fliter Stopped

I have one of the new canister filters Model professional 4+2275

I find it really has almost no manual just sheets of diagrams with no words.

Anyway, it is only about 3 months old and has stopped working electrically. Plugged it into different outlets so I know nothing is wrong from the electrical supply side. Does it have any type of internal reset or circuit breaker?

I am starting to hate the thing.

Have you tried cleaning it? Does it hum at all? I have a bunch of the older Pro3's and they're bombproof.

I brought it back to the LFS and they exchanged the motor section for a new one. Now works better than ever. Thanks for the suggestions

A good LFS is worth supporting.
