Any other suggestions or do I need a new motor block?
Hi Christy

I had one of my Tunze's do the same thing.

In the manual there is a section on cleaning and it shows a small disk at the bottom of the impeller. This disk has a number of tiny holes in it and they must be cleared of debry. Once I cleaned the disk throughly the alarm quit and the pump started up again.

I hope this works for you.
