Help my fluval 304 problems

[Epok]

I don't know what happened, all I know is that I came home one day and it was no longer working. Does anyone know how to fix these? I'm kind of cash staped right now and can't afford a new filter. Please help, my fish are without a filter :S

You have to give us some more details. What's "not working"? Completely dead, running but not pushing water, etc. ....

By not working I mean it was working one day then noticed that there wasn't any water being pushed out I cleaned and reset it back up. Now it won't prime or even have that sound that motor is working. Other than a small noise. So confused

Have you checked the propeller? Perhaps something is jamming it?

[Epok]

Yeah checked that. I'm so frustrated. Thanks though.

Take the cover off and see if the impeller spin at all. If it does not spin, the motor is fried for whatever reason, there is nothing you can fix.

[Epok]

OK ill go try that now

It rattles around and spins sometimes. The propeller doesn't seem snug

Hello. sounds like impeller problem if you hear a rattling sound. is the little rubber tip on the bottom of the impeller shaft ? also take the impeller shaft a place it in the lid for it, and see if it has excessive play side to side. Cheers

Does the motor or unit actually sound like its on and not priming or just dead. You can try jamming a power head in the input tub to get the flow going and that might help. Also try unpegging it a couple times sometimes that will get it going again.
