potus4388 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Hello all, i am on a site and my whale water pump has stopped working, I have changed the fuse but still not working. Any advice that may involve something simple I have missed will be much appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I think a Majestic 120 is a 'rebadged' Elddis Autoquest 120 model marketed through the Marquis dealership network. If that's correct, a 2019 Autoquest Owners Handbook can be found here https://elddis.co.uk/uploads/Handbooks/2019/2019-Autoquest-Handbook.pdf and I believe a Whale "Watermaster" pressure-sensitive water-pump is used (located in a cupboard under the kitchen sink in your motorhome's case) . Have you tried holding down the Pump Button on the motorhome's main control-panel to see if that does any good? When you turn on the pump using the control-panel's Pump Button, does that button illuminate (which I presume it ought to do?) Make sure the electrical connections on the pump are properly connected. Presumably there is water in the motorhome's fresh-water tank? And is the leisure-battery's charge OK? Other than changing the relevant fuse and carrying basic checks that I've just mentioned, I'm not sure what else you can do without removing the pump.

MartinP Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I had a similar experience. I have quite a bit of experience of fault finding in the van but after hours of frustration, one Friday evening, and failing to sort my inert water pump, I spotted that on a previously unnoticed setting on my control panel I must have switched over to "external pump". As I've never had an "external pump" it wasn't making much noise! So I selected "internal pump" and" Voila!" back to normal service. And I'd had the van for about 8 years. So just check you don't have a similar setting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potus4388 Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 Thank you for your replies, much appreciated. Having tried everything else and thinking it was looking like a new pump perhaps, I gave the pump a thump with my hand and hey presto, it is now working! I guess you could say I employed a technical approach. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simian Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Or perhaps more precisely you applied the medical approach, as in CPR ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtravel Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 My technical manual says: if it is not an electrical problem, use a hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 The chapter on 'foreplay' in my S&M manual suggests something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simian Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 That'll be the S&M Manual chapter with the Vaniagra fix for dysfunctional pumps, restores full pressure and circulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
