Gremllin in my water pump.

My water pump stopped working after a Doran Beach camping.

And immediately, as we tech and mechanically challenged do, checked on the fuse.

Well, the fuse did not blow up. But noticed that it was 10 Amp while the panel cover says it should have 15.

Bought and replaced the fuse promptly with a 15 Amp.

And the water pump started humming again.

Every electrician I know, only one, my son, an Assistant Chief Enngineer at a big hospital at the CA Bay Area, said that if the fuse did not blow up, it could not have been the cause.

So, it must be the gremlin.:@

    How did you check the fuse, just a visual inspection may not reveal a blown fuse you need to use a meter to check the resistance.


    I did not bother finding out it was under-rated and may give out anyways when it's most inconvenient, lol.:o
