If not that, maybe its broken? They usually are pretty simple. Work or not.

I have 2 quiet1 3000s one to drive my skimmer and one for my return. When I purchased the pumps my LFS warned me of their reputation to not start easily if they lose power. One of them always started the other sometimes needed to be bumped or have the impellor rotated to get it going. Sometimes it was quite the ordeal. I phoned my LFS and was told to give it time, once it was broken in algae and all it would be much more consistant. In time it did work itself out and it starts up every time. I have had the pumps for over a year now and gave them a vinegar soak and they still fire up each time and always in the right direction.
How old is the pump?

Same thing happened here today. But, while I was in the middle of trying to fix the pump, with sump turned off, and plumbing all apart. We got a Fire call, so I had to run
 But, I have read alot of great things about Ehiem pumps and their reliability for a submersable pump

well I have been reading up and the resun pumps seem to have impellr issues so I gues contacting Live aquaria for a replacement is the best plan for this one....the quiet one still is f'd up and I will continue to lk for a replacement that is reliable.
