Pumping out fresh water tank during de winterization and pump stopped!

Fuse is ok. Is the pump just overheated? Or have i burned it out?
Input welcomed! Thanks!

You will need a multi meter to see if the fuse is ok.

Confused as to why you had water in the tank if it was winterized...

It is possible it's burned out, let it cool and turn back on and encourage it with a few taps.

Question…why not use the drain tap on the FW tank?

Why are you pumping water out of the tank to dewinterize? In any case—can you hear the pump but no pressure, or does it seem like it’s completely dead when you turn it on?

I was dewinterizing and sanitizing the fresh water tank. Turns out the pump had just overheated and shut itself down. So all good! Thanks for th e reply.

I’m clearly impatient, that drain is so slow! Anyways the pump cooled down and is fine. Thanks for the response.
