Whats not working ..

hi john,it will work fine ,its working now,but i ll try it in 5 mins and blip,so cant get a idea if its vac or pump,last time it went it was pump only???

[john martin]

presume its the rccb switch tripping ?   

could be a nuisance to troubleshoot  ...  first id check for anything obvious ... dampness on switches  , leaks ,  try running each vac , switch , pump separately to try and isolate ..

Last time mine did that it was the vac brushes arcing. Worth a look may be a cheap fix

thanks all,thik its some kind of short,maybe dampness somewhere,no leaks,one brand new vac the other only 3 months old.
