My fluval 405 stopped working!!?
I just cleaned the filter last week.. everything was running fine.. a couple bubbles from the bubble curtian we getting sucked up and ive had that problem before but i fixed it and i fixed it today. . today i left the house.. for maybe two hours.. came back and the filter had stopped working.. i disconnected it.. took the white spinny thing out and it was steaming.. the top of the filter was warm as well and it usually isnt.. I have two oscar fish!! i need to fix the filter! HELP!
I did!! ive cleaned it many times ive had it for two years.. i over flow it so wheni i put the top back on water comes out.. and then i prime it before i start it up. .
your filter wasnt full when you started it back up today and it burned up the return motor common problem i hope it was still under warranty.
every time you disassemble one of those filters make sure its completely full by using the primer pump on the filter.
I wish i could give ya good news but your gonna have to get that motor replaced or get a whole new filter.
