I can’t figure out where to go next troubleshooting my Whale Gulper shower sump pump. Any questions or ideas welcome!
Current situation:
Pump doesn’t run using either manual switch or float switch.
Pump runs when jumpers from battery led directly to it.
Leads from switch and battery test 12.75vdc when both manual switch and float switch activated.
In line fuse at pump good
Fuse at Rule manual / auto switch good.
Diaphragm clean, nothing blocking inlet or outlet.
Ground wire leading to pump had another black wire connected to it (double crimped with the ground wire leading on the switch side of the quick connector at the pump). This wire was disconnected at some point and cut so I don’t know where it previously led. I pulled it out of the system and it tests the same. 12.75v from either the manual switch or the float switch.
Thanks!
