    Sometimes they need to be cleaned. My Seios seem to do this too. I have to bump it to get it to start up again. Have you tried that? Sometimes the magnet impeller gets stuck and needs to get reseated.

    good to know you got it to work. sometimes there is alittle algae or other organism that build up on the shaft that sticks the impeller in place. Just beat it a little and will work
