Checked inlet / outlet, checked sensor.
I to have run into this issue and i saw a repair using a piece of brass rod. If you open the motor cap where the impeller is located you will find the impeller guide shaft is made of a cheep piece of plastic and has broken it is a magnetic motor guided assembly and all it does is hold the impeller in the exact place. well i have found just the piece that you can fashion a quick fix from and you can find it at any hardware store. I happened to get mine from home Depot. buy a toilet handle brass lift kit paid 3.00 for it.
the larger piece is a perfect fit cut it to size and file the end of any sharp edges. works great
SOURCE: my intex pool pump is surging and won't stay primed???
i think its pump side first as its easier to push water through a filter rarther than trying to **** it , Also the only reason it could loose its prime is through air getting in the system.
SOURCE: need instruction manual to set up my pump for intex easy set up
The correct website is intexstore.com
on the right side, about half way down the page there is a blue box that says instructional set up video and manuals. You then click on pumps and on your model, and you can open it there.

You know, I have made some amazing repairs on plastic items using nothing more than a soldiering iron! If you have the piece that broke off, you can carefully melt it back together. You can add more to the weld if you match the type of plastic but not too much or you imbalance it. In this case it looks like PVC. To repair it without the missing piece, form it out of epoxy putty, roughly shape it just before it sets up solid, & sand to finish.
SOURCE: New Intex FP621 4000 Pool Pump Noisy
I have a 16 x 48 intex pool with the 1inch inlet and outlet. I purchased the intex 4000 pump. The attachments are too big for the inlet and outlet so i then purchased the adapters. The plungers are very noisy and allow air to get into the pump. I removed them and hooked the hoses up to the adapters directly. That worked as long as the adapters were new. This year the seal comes loose and allows air to get into the pump. I even tried allowing the top nut to be loose to allow air to escape. This year nothing works. The pump is just too strong for the holes. I was considering cutting the holes bigger and glueing seals on there but i was concerned about creating weak spots in the pool. I am tired of spending money on it so i did the redneck thing. I can say that because well, you might consider me one. I took the inlet hose off the connector and plugged the hole with one of those little black things. I took the hose and run it up through the hole in between the liner and the poles and down into the pool. If you run it over the top it will not work correctly. Take the hose and tie them together between the two sides as best you can to keep the hose in the pool. If you look at the smaller intex pools that dont have holes, that is how they have the pump hooked to the pool. VOILA! You have an airtight inlet to the pump. You do not need to do that to the outlet because its not sucking water its just pushing it. So, just hook the hose up as you wish. When you need to clean the filter, I put wash clothes in the hoses to plug them and voila. No air gets into the filter. Done! It is actually keeping my pool clean this year. Also, i purchased one of those aqua vacuums and it does work great for this pool. Once you get the big stuff, sweep it with a pool broom and the filter will do its job. You can vacuum these pools with the filter type pumps. Next time, i will purchase a sand filter and be done with it. Happy swimming with less work.
SOURCE: I have a intex 637R pump and the problem is it doe...
I have the same problem. I've replaced the filter and made sure nothing was blocking the inlet or outlet but it barely pumps. I also bled the air out.
