Mine is 5 yrs old and works great. Thanks for the info and it is called an impeller not a fan.

I've had two of these transfer pumps, and for the money they're worth it. As long as you remember to turn it off or take your batteries out. But the issue is in the design, it's the blades and the little three legs that go from the outside to the inside. The blades rub on that and it stops it from spinning. Hence it gets hot or doesn't work at all. Take the cap off and trim those little black Parts down and out and you might even have to take a little off the side of your blades. But the blades rubbing on the inside of that housing is the problem every time

Yep the problem arose again even after everything I did. I came to the conclusion also exactly what you just said and that's exactly what I did. Thank you for the great explanation!!

How do you remove the top off? And with what tool? Thanks

[@reviewmaster517]

@@hhuynh121 if I remember correctly you just have to squeeze it hard and it pops off. Then you can pop it back on. Unfortunately it only lasts for so long and goes right back. I think I decided to finally trash it and bought a cheaper priced one from Temu.
