THE BATH CIRCULATION PUMP MOTORS:

 

BENCH MODELS HAVE BATH CIRCULATION ONLY. 

FLOOR MORDELS HAVE BOTH BATH AND DISTILLED WATER TANK 
CIRCULATIONS TOGETHER WITH DISPENSING OF DISTILLED WATER. 

THE BATH CIRCULATION PUMP MOTOR (in d/w tank – floor models only): 

If a circulation pump motor stops,  first be sure it is not manually switched off in the Control 
Unit display.  If not switched OFF,  first check the fuse to the motor.  The bath circulation 
fuse is one of the horizontal fuses inside the control unit.   It is marked “BATH PUMP”.  It is 
a 3 amp fuse.   On floor mounted units,  the distilled water circulation and dispensing motor 
fuse is the other horizontal 3 amp fuse above the bath pump fuse and is marked “D/W 
PUMP”. 

 

TO REPLACE A CIRCULATION PUMP MOTOR:

  On bench models,  open the spare parts 

package,  remove the spare pump DC motor.   Turn off the power to the machine. 

Remove the lid of the mash bath for access and also remove the long rear cover over the 
electrics.   

NOTE::

   If the cable is disconnected from the Control Unit,  it can remain 

mounted on the cover as the cover is lifted from the machine. 

Take note of the polarity of the RED and BLACK connections to the circulation pump 
motor.

   Reach inside the bath and hold the barrel of the circulation pump motor firmly in 

one hand while twisting and pulling the motor from the top.  Tools are not required.  The 
motor, complete with the location boss assembly should extract from the pump barrel.   
Unscrew the insulating adaptor from the metal location boss,  then unscrew the motor from 
the insulating adaptor. 

Remove the insulated coupling from the motor shaft and fit it to the new motor making sure 
it is in the same position on the motor shaft..  Tighten firmly.   Re-fix the insulating adaptor 
to the new motor and re-fix insulating adaptor to the metal boss.     

Look down the barrel of the pump and see the cross pin at the top of the shaft.  This cross 
pin must engage in the slot of the coupling.    Line up the slot as the motor assembly is re-
inserted into the barrel.  ‘Feel” the end of the shaft enter the coupling,  “feel” the cross pin 
enter the slot,  then push the motor assembly all the way into the barrel.     

Check that the pump is resting squarely on the bottom of the bath. 

Reconnect the wiring to the tabs of the new motor,  making sure the polarity to the motor is 
as originally connected.  The motor must rotate anti-clockwise as viewed from the top or the 
circulation will be very poor.   NOTE:  The direction of rotation can be felt by placing a finger 
on the motor shaft protruding from the top end of the motor.     

The cable can be connected to the control unit with the long cover removed for a test.  Allow 
the display to come on and press the START button.  Water should automatically fill the 
bath.  With water in the bath higher than the low level switch,  the circulation pump will turn 
on and the water circulation should be seen and felt coming from the pump into the bath. 

If all is OK,  turn off the power and re-fit the rear cover to the machine.  Turn on the power 
and allow the bath to fill.
