I took a peak and a couple of my smaller Koralias, have a black washer at the base of the impeller magnet. This isn't smooth, but fits on the bottom contours of the impeller magnet itself.

Could this be causing your problem, if it is missing?

are you running it on a timer or wave maker?

The impeller is turning. I've never seen a washer of any sort in this unit. The impeller has a sort of gear in it's bas and a similar toothed thing in the bottom of the housing but it doesn't seem to spin.

No wavemaker.

I've pulled it out. I think it's kaput. It's not very old so I'm less than thrilled about that.

If it is less than a year old, call the LFS or JL if that is where you got it. You should get another/replacement.

Update on this...

I pulled the other Koralia out and looked closely in the bottom and there actually *is* a washer of sorts in the bottom. It must have come out when I was cleaning it in the sink.

So...mystery solved but now getting this little $0.10 washer looks like it's going to be tough. I emailed Hydor -fingers crossed they can supply the part.

Anyone else have this problem ? If so, where did you get a replacement part ?

It will take a bit and probably a couple of emails but they do send it for free.

Hey, I'd happily pay for the part but none of the dealers seem to have any parts.
