I have a used Maxi-Jet 750 that was given to me because it wasn't needed by the owner. The problem is that I cant get it to work constantly.
I am thinking that the impeller is sticking in the housing some how. Is the impeller and magnet supposed to stick to the shaft that runs through it? Or is it all one piece like mine seems to be?
I know that it works because if I fidget with it enough it will run for a few seconds then stop.
This is my first one of these so I have no clue as to how they are put together?
But I do know now that when you test it in the sink you don't have the outlet pointed towards the ceiling!:duh:
Thanks!

Hmm. OK looks like the shaft is just stuck. Guess I will have to pull it apart and try to fix it. Thanks rocker!
