My ejector pump will ot shut off...it is empty what should I do?

This is caused by air leaking past the seal in the shut door. Push in on the paddle and release and watch the door shut close. It should make an air tight seal. You can also shine a flashlight in the shut and look at the opposite side to look for light.

If what you are saying the empty Shell is still in the open ejection area and another is trying to push in..if so your ejected is either worn or has gunk built up around it or your chamber is dirty and causing the just fired shell to stick momentarily...try firing and eject an empty shell without another feeding in and see if it clearly and quickly ejects the empty..if not it is the ejector or dirty chamber the new steel is spring fed so it should not be the poblem ..you can try another spring and see what happens. My bet is a worn or dirty ejector..or a long shot it may be the shells expanding too much do to age damp etc try different ones..good luck..

what part of the world do you live in

sounds to me like the ejector spring is broken and the motors burned out time for another one

I think you have the right idea. Then get it rebuild and have a spare if it is worth the cost.

replace fuel filter,pump could be weak.

You are likely wasting your time trying to by a Grainger item outside Grainger’s network of how many hundreds of branches? They no longer offer the pump or the kit. Your best chance at getting a part would be calling Grainger and trying to get a lead to their vendor who made the pump and contact them. Grainger, like Sears, merely has another pump maker produce a line of private labeled pumps (Teel) that they sell. Since they no longer sell it, they usually will tell you who made that item for them and will give you contact info. At least with the original manufacturers part number you would have a better chance of finding it on some distributor’s shelf.

Good luck.

You either need to repair/replace the float switch, this switch is the device that turns the pump on and off

The ejector pumps probably pump to the same sewer pipe you had rooted. Rooting can do damage. Trees can break into your sewer pipe, jam them up with roots, and let ground water in. The ground water may be following your sewer pipes on the outside back to your house. It costs a lot, but you can have your pipes examined with a tv camera, the rooter people can do that. Make sure your ejectors have check valves, and they are working right. It's easy for something to get stuck in the check, and then water will come back.

I have seen this problem several times before. The ejector pump should be in a separate crock in the ground by itself. Someone has installed it in the crock that is meant to pump out drain water. Probably the result of adding a bathroom in the basement. You need to bust another hole in the floor and install a separate crock to solve this problem correctly. If it just started happening go outside and look at he gutters to make sure water is running away from the house and not up against the foundation.
