The pump in my dirtwoker wouldnt work this evening. The little green light on the plug comes on but the no noise from the pump.
I tried all the IT tricks of turning it off and on, unplugging it and plugging it back in but nothing. Ive only had it a couple of months and everything was fine last time I used it a week ago.
Obviously I have no proof of purchase so guarantee.
What should I do? How do I trace and fix the problem?

I found mine does that when the engie in the car isn't on. Must be low power to the 12v.

I seem to remember ime getting "jammed" once - think it was down to an air lock somewhere.

To be honest, I banged it on the floor a few times and it started working when I filled it back up!

Check the inlet filter on the hose at the botton of the tank, mine got blocked after filling it from a manky outside tap.
