SOURCE: Grundfos recirculating system. Never has

http://waterheatertimer.org/Water-heater-recirculation-system.html

The circulation system should draw hot water directly from the water heater as shown on illustrations on link above.

The Grundfos pump works on a thermostat, and some work on a timer.
Can you hear the pump working?
There should be a humming sound.
Check the timer -or- thermostat setting.

It is possible the lines are clogged with sediment if you have hard water.

If I was going to fix the problem:
1) check thermostat or timer
2) listen for pump sound
3) check electricity going to unit
4) take apart the pipes and inspect for clogging
If there is a clog, I would flush the line or soak the part in CLR (calcium lime rust remover)

The circulation pumps are sealed and there is no way to take apart the motor, timer, or thermostat for repairs.

Timer not working on grundfos up-15

1) I have a link for one type of timer replacement.
Have no idea if this fits your specific model.

2) Above is only repair part I've found for grundfos, and I look for this stuff.

3) You can create a work-around by plugging grundfos into inexpensive wall timer that has 3-prong outlet:

4) Grundfos system is replaced when it stops working.
If you have hard water, suggest you take pump off and clean with CLR.
Same with crossover located on farthest faucet.
Once motor starts to slow, it overheats and burns out.

5) Add a comment for more free help.
Also take advantage of fixya phone service.
For a price, expert speaks with you over phone while you work on timer or any do-it-yourself project.
Fixya is always less expensive than a service call.

Hammering while grundfos comfort system is pumping

Pipes should have been installed with cushioning to prevent this from happening. Could be a faulty bypass valve.
