Little Giant 554455 VCMA-20ULS 230V
Hi,
The float switch went bad... probably because of the water...you could replace it, but the parts are hard to get and with the time involved it will be easier and cheaper to replace it...

Little giant model PEM-07. Caan electric cord be replaced??
Honestly I don't think so. If I remember the pump housing is ultrasonically sealed to prevent water entry and is not designed to permit opening for repair.
But there is another way.
If you can't replace the cord, cut off the bad section, leaving as much as you can that's still good; and wire it together with another waterproof extension cord through a water proof fountain repair cable kit. (Don't forget to use a water-resistant cable assembly or water will eventually migrate into the insulation, shorting the cable.)
Here's one example.

By all means, this pond circuit MUST be protected by a GFCI. Water, electricity and a human body don't mix well.

This pump works off of a pressure switch. You can remove the cover on the switch located on the side of the pump.You can either buy a switch repair kit, or you can open it up and take a look and see if the diaphragm is sticking. If you remove and clean the parts, you may have some success. Or, just buy the switch repair kit from your local Little Giant dealer. Good luck!
I have a Little Giant

Hi! After a power outage
What is the age of the unit? Those batteries don't last forever and are constantly under a small charge. When the outage happened the battery discharged and the sensing circuit was able to tell that the battery was no longer any good.
My old pump has the brown and blue wires connected
first do not change the factory wiring, what voltage is the pump wired for, what voltage is supplied to the pump.
then we figure out the rest
also what do the instructions say about the pump
NO stands for normally open contact-which means during operation is open which means off.
will be glad to help 865-888-1220
