Possible Causes

Broken cooling fan blades, Loose fan cover, Internal rotor or end-bell damage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and wait for the motor to stop completely before touching it.

  • Inspect fan and cover: Remove the rear fan cover on the Emaux motor and check the plastic fan for broken blades or looseness on the shaft. Replace if damaged.
  • Tighten cover screws: Ensure the fan cover is securely fastened and not vibrating against the fan.
  • Listen after repair: Reassemble and run the pump briefly to confirm the noise is gone.
  • Internal damage: If noise persists and seems to come from inside the motor body, internal components may be loose; replace the motor assembly.

Do not operate the pump long-term with internal rattling, as it can lead to further damage.
