If the thermopota slows slowly pumps or generally stops her feed, it indicates clogging or breakdown of certain parts. The most common cause is a violation of the pump work. But it is not necessary to immediately acquire a new thermopath, because to begin with, it is necessary to study the nature of the problem, and then you can try to eliminate it yourself.
Varieties
Regardless of the thermal manufacturer, the pump itself is always mounted in the device itself. In turn, all pumps can be divided into 2 large categories:
- Manual - which swing water only if a person presses several times on a special button;
- Automatic - water supply after a single press of a button or switching a special toggler.
Depending on the ownership of the first or second category, the internal device of the water pump changes. Thus, the electric pump consists of an electric motor, on the housing of which there is a working chamber, made of durable plastic. On the shaft of the same electric motor, the special impeller, which responds directly for the pumping of water. In more modern and expensive models, the filter intended for water purification is additionally mounted in this part.
Important moment! If the thermopath is equipped with a built-in filter, then the clogging of the latter just may be the cause of the breakage.
Manual or mechanical pump is equipped with a cylindrical pump. Material moderately soft and has folds that are compressed and squeezed if necessary. The entire mechanism is completely made of plastic, and you can only actually drive it if the thermal cover is tightly closed.
Pump operation requires absolute tightness. But even when this, the pump conditions will not work without the participation of a person. So, when you press the corresponding button (more often on the thermal cover), the pump is compressed and pens a small amount of air into the top compartment of the chamber. There is a pressure that in small portions pushes water. It is noteworthy that the more intense the person presses the button, the faster the water is poured.
In the starting position after pressing the mechanism is returned independently. Such a principle of operation may have both universal thermal powers and more modern models presented in the form of teapot thermos.
How to check?
In order to independently check the reason for the incorrect work of thermal strength, it is necessary to know its internal device. So, almost any thermopotam consists of the following details:
- reservoir;
- heating element;
- manual or mechanical pump.
It is the last component more often than the rest is the cause of the lack of water supply.
In order to check the correctness of the work of this mechanism, it is necessary to simply pour into the thermopota of water and try to roll out it. It also depends here on the type of pump. To activate the automatic pump, it is enough to simply press the corresponding button on the control panel. And to pump water using a cylindrical form, you must press it at least 2-3 times.
If the water supply is not carried out or a thin jet is observed, then there is a clogging or breakage of the mechanism. You can try to disassemble thermopot and eliminate the problem with your own hands.
Important moment! Before proceeding with the repair of thermal strength, it must be turned off from the network, as well as merge all the water available.
What if the pump does not pump water?
In order to get to the mechanism, it is necessary to disassemble the thermal lid. If inside an automatic pump, then the breakdown can be as follows:
- failure in the management system;
- Malfunction of a motor located inside the electric pump;
- The impeller chamber is clogged with solid deposits.
If there is a manual pump inside the thermopota, then the causes of the breakage will be the others:
- There was a break of a plastic corrugated pump;
- The silicone seal, located directly under the lid of thermal stream, has come to a disjuvenable state.
It is noteworthy that all of the above faults can be determined visually. That is, this does not require any devices and devices for diagnosis.
In the mechanical pump most often broke the pump. At the same time, water supply is carried out badly (intermittent and thin jet). Sometimes contamination is influenced by this, but it is more often a break. The plastic case is not so reliable as it seems at first glance. And from constant flexion and extension, the material is wear out with time.
Since after breaking the pump, the camera is deployed, it is no longer able to fully pump air. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to repair the proceeded item. Of course, you can try to stuck it, but for a long time such a patch will not last. It is better to replace this item to a new one, especially since the pump can be purchased in the store for purely symbolic cost.
After the new pump is available, it is important correctly and very gently replacing it old. In most models, it is fastened with latches, and if they break them, you will have to buy all the lid. In this case, the replacement will cost about two thousand rubles.
If the case is not in the pump, it means that the silicone seal is subject to the replacement, which is directly under the lid. This item can also be purchased in the store. Replacement can be very simple (enough to pick up the laying with a knife or screwdriver). If the design is complicated, then it is necessary to disassemble. Consider such a breakdown in 30 minutes.
If the automatic pump stopped turning on, then you also need to get to the mechanism and check it for solid contaminants. If these are missing, then, most likely, the problem is in nutrition. In this case, the diagnostics should be carried out with a special instrument - a multimeter. Conduct power availability.
You need to start checking from the power cord. The most vulnerable places are bends. The motor of the electric pump operates from 12 volts direct current. Using a multimer, it is necessary to check the rectifier diodes. The fact is that in one direction they must pass the current, and in the other - no. If the motor does not work, then it is necessary to replace the entire design.
It happens that the motor works well, but at the same time the pump still does not pump water. In this case, attention should be paid to the camera - it may be clogged. To correct the current situation, it must be cleaned with high quality.
If you follow the instructions, it is not difficult to repair at all when any of the listed problems occurs. And so that the pumps are not contaminated, it is recommended to pass water through the filter before pouring into thermopotam.
