I have had several of your pumps burn out on me within a month and the retailer no longer warrantees them. The latest is a FPOS1800A that I installed a month ago only to find the sump hole filled with steaming water this morning.... the hole is 4-5 feet deep. Other than buying a different brand today what can I do?

Check voltage at the pump receptacle, while pump
is under load, using a true RMS meter. The accetable voltage range supplied by utilities is 103.5 - 126.5 VAC.

Lower than nominal voltage causes high currents which may overheat motor windings.

SOURCE: I just recently replaced on

If the float was stuck in the on position of the pump and the motor was out then yes it will still draw power. What is happening is that the pump is trying to turn the pump even though the pump is bad it is still drawing a current to the pump.

Good Luck

Nissan navarra yd25 engine, oil light vomes on when idling.my oil pump is new .

If the oil pump is new, then confirm the oil pressure sensor is accurate by slapping a mechanical gauge in place of the sesnor. If the pressure still reads low on the mechanical gauge, then you have severe bearing wear requiriing a rebuild.

Fumes from flavel regent gas fire when burning

This is normal .It should definitely burnt off in a few hours.
Normally the heat exchanger is coated with a corn oil so it wouldn't get damage while sitting in their warehouse for too long.
Normally installer should have burnt it out before it gets blown into space

Makita 5" Random Orbit Sander

The armature windings have an overlay problem in the wiring causing this and there is no soluation except to replace the armature which is not cost efective unless you are still under Warrantee and get a free replacement, it will burn up at some point. If you bought it within the last month take it back and get a new one, over one month, pack it back up in the original box and send it to address in the owners manual for repair or replacement service addresses.
