the machine pump makes noise but the water doesn't come through

It did that recently so I turned it off and cleaned it out and dried it thoroughly. Then I turned it back on and ran the water through (to clean with hot water) and then put the pod in and it didn't do that again. Also make sure you have adequate water in there. I always try to fill it to the fill line.

I get my capsules at amazon subscribe and save which is a good deal compared to CBTL's website . Thank you for your comment....I will try my machine again....it is a new machine and so I was trying to prime it....and no water came out. I tried mine about 10 times in 2 hours before I gave up. But I will try it again before I put it in the garage. And thanks for the tip on Bed Bath and Beyond.....they used to carry them at Target and I got a good deal when they closed the brand out there.

the same thing happened to mine....and it is sitting in a box because I hate to throw it out.....mine was an open box item.....however, I have invested so much money on the pods that I have to replace it.

Make sure tank is full and seated correctly AND run a clear water mug through with no capsule. See if that helps. Contact company if not. Good luck.

It sounds to me like the capsule is not being punctured. If this is happening the water will start to flow but is being stopped, thus the bump. I have never done this but try doing it without a capsule but be ready and have your finger on the off switch. Are you pressing the lever down until it touches the top of the machine? Also, if it is a used machine, check the manual, it just may need to be cleaned where the water goes through the capsule. If this does not help, let me know I will try to help. Bandit7342@aol.com

There should be a dial on the pump itself. If not, put a kink in the return hose.

That is odd. Sometimes I get a gurgling sound but that is it. Should be silent. Remember to run filtered water through it. Might want to hit up seller.

A couple of things come to mind. Is the panel dirty and need to be wiped? The pump may be working but the intake could be clogged and needs to be cleaned out? Is the pump submersed fully? I found my pump not working (but I can't see mine) because it was above the water line, adding water solved it.

check your hose and make sure water is in the hose if the hose is floating high than the skimmer the pump wont pump water thought the hose

Make sure the water reservoir is pushed down ALL THE WAY. I had mine pushed down and the steamer worked, but the pump wasn't getting any water. When my boyfriend tried to push down the water reservoir harder, the machine started working! Good luck!

A waterfall? Check for clogs... It makes a modest amount of noise but I wouldnt say its loud.. Try cleaning it out and if that doesn't work contact Crane.

my pump is very quiet. If it is sitting on a surface wrong, or touching something else, it will buzz. You might try moving it around or setting it on a washcloth or something to quiet the buzzing.

My best guess is that the pump circuit is very dry and it needs to be primed with an EXTERNAL hand pump. They are avaiable for a small sum.

Make sure the pump is properly seated into its base and the suction cups are properly secured the back. Mine was a little loud as well until I did this. Also if it starts to overflow it's because the filter is dirty

The motor is a low hum, quiet. Keep the water level just above the white filter/pump holder and the fountain is quiet.

When it does not make a noise, it certainly is NOT working. There is also a possibility that the set-up of the item is wrong or that it has become wet and needs to dry out before it will work.

either the pump is not operating , or the portafilter was took a part and assembled wrong

Mainly due to the impeller. The top portion must not be working. Did you plug the system in? If you can't here any water movement or the system running, then it has malfunction. Try changing the impeller first.

I use it for an outdoor fountain, but have only noticed the sound of the water never the pump action

It could be the pump rotors are beginning to rust and expand like I mentioned in my review. When this happens, they start scraping and making noise, and the water circulates less. There is not much you can do about it.

Sounds like there is an issue or a snail stuck inside.. :P No impeller rattle on mine can be heard. Good luck!
