Water pump constantly running

    Hi all,

    Just noticed yesterday our water pump for the apartment (shower and all bathroom taps, toilets, and kitchen warm tap) was running constantly for about 3 hours. Only way to stop it was to pull the fuse and putting it back in caused the pump to keep running.

    There is no leak anywhere we can see and nothing running/trickling to trigger it.
    Constantly running on full whack with it getting quite warm and you can smell the motor going.

    Pump is a Stuart 55 contract pump. Anyone any ideas?

    In case anyone is curious it was indeed the PCB. Replaced for 45eur incl VAT.

    Apparently the PCB can actually also cause them to "stick" on. Tapping it on the sensor inside the PCB caused it to stop. Then it wouldn't turn back on or would behave temperamentally. Which required more tapping. To the point where tapping stopped working and also became ridiculous. So replaced the PCB courtesy of Modern Plant.
