- Leakage: A leaking pump can result from damaged seals or cracks in the pump housing, leading to water loss and potential motor damage.
- Electrical Problems: Faulty wiring, damaged power cords, or issues with the electrical supply can cause the pump to stop working.
- Motor Failure: Overheating or old age can cause the pump’s motor to malfunction, leading to reduced performance or a complete shutdown.
