So this weird thing has happened for the third time in last few months. The sump pump works fine and then one day I’ll go to the basement and it’s flooding and the pump isn’t working.
I tiptoe my way to the sump pump, gently lift the pit cover and the pump magically kicks on.
I really don’t see that the cover is in any way physically messing with the pump. I mean it’s possible that lifting it maybe nudges the plug wire or something…maybe there’s a bad connection. Don’t know.
Anyone have anything similar happen? It happened today and I was intentionally extra careful when lifting the cover so as not to touch anything with it. And as soon as it’s lifted, the pump kicks on.
