The switch you have on the pump with a reset lever is a low water pressure switch that will trip when a load is on the pump like a leak or no water in well and switch will trip to save life of pump. One way to get around this is to install a regular pressure switch and it shouldn't trip out.
Advantage of a low water switch is to save the pump and it constantly triping can be frustrating and I have changed some to put a regular switch in to avoid having to go offen to reset switch.
Hello,
The most common issue with these pumps is that the impeller gets stuck from non usage or from debris getting stuck in the impeller.
Take the cover off of the pump section and make sure that the impeller is free of debris and that it will turn freely. If it turns hard you may be able to free it by working it back and forth. This may take some time to do. I'm not sure about this particular pump, but on some you can get a lubricant like WD-40 worked into the pump and motor bearing also...
If the impeller is spinning frreely and the motor still does not turn on then you have a bad motor. To replace this motor will probably cost nearly the price of a new pump. It may be better to just replace the whole pump.
Question edited for correct spelling of maker 'Noen' to 'Moen'.
'Fix' as in it is leaking? Or tighten it down because it is wobbly, or something completely different?
Well, we can have a one on one seminar by the internet. I've been a pumpman for 20 years. I can share with you my experience (household pumps, suibmersible pumps, turbine pumps, gear pumps, piston pumps, dewatering pumps, mud pumps, trash pumps, mining pumps, solids handling pump, etc....) Just take your pick. Just send in your e-mail for assistance. God bless.
It is leaking due to a defective mechanical seal. It needs to be replaced. To replace it, is to take the pumpcase off by taking off the bolts that hold it. Then, take the impeller off to take the mechanical seal behind it. Put the replacement in, and reassemble the pump. Just get in touch with us by e-mail to get more assistance.
Move the lever or turn the knob. Check the stop tap under the sink. Make sure the faucet control knob or lever is tight, There is normally a removable cover that hides the screw..

This a Menards special. To remove handles, look for a small hole hidden from the front. They take a small Allen Key.
