It's not seized.
Hoping it's just the contoller

I've had power supplies and controllers fail as well so for sure could be the issue but the controller wouldn't lite up at all for both failure modes.

How old are your pumps ?

Borrowed a power supply and controller. And it turns out to be the pump.

mine kicked it a few weeks ago, too. Controller went. I managed to get a replacement for it and try it out, and the pump was seized! I took the impeller out and fiddled with it enough, and it eventually turned back on.

However, I still bought a new return pump. (tunze)

I picked up a Laguna. See how it does. Though I did like the feed mode on Dc pump

The controller lights up.

I test a controller a while ago that would show it was working but wouldn't bump up the pump.

On way to lfs so we will see
