William,
Even though I should let Windy answer this one, my experience with the
Sunrise leads me to believe that the pump is due for a trip to Dankoff.
Sunrise pumps are notorious for brush and brush related problems,
loose/broken wires, cooked motors, damaged pump-ends and controller
problems. Since Dankoff no longer sells the Fluxinose (Sunrise), no matter
what the immediate repair solution may be, the customer will at some point
be faced with the prospect of replacing the pump and controller.
