Hello all,

I had the same problem with my pump. (Well, I actually first had the problem of a wire that had come unscrewed in the pump when I was moving it around to get the ground to slope away from the house). When we got things re-connected, the pump made the loud buzzing sound.

I ended up taking the back cover back off and just ran my fingers under the starter switch to make sure they were clean and the pump started right up when I tried it next. Hopefully it will continue running properly for the season. Much cheaper than buying a whole new pump
