How can a water pump be repaired?

[kacper6768]

A broken water pump for a well looks something like this

but it's a different model It broke down last year in the fall that it buzzed a little louder than normal when it pumps water, I turned it on for over a minute or about 2 minutes and then I thought that the water must be taken from the well to the hose, it takes time but still does not want to pump. Did this pump just break down more that I turned it on for 2 minutes. Why won't this one pump water when it hums. Can this pump be repaired? Can this pump be repaired? How much is the cheapest new pump in the store? This pump was bought 3 years ago in a store, is it still under warranty? Can this pump be repaired? Is it possible to buy just a broken part for the pump? Is better buy used pumps or only new ones?

Generally considered a consumable and repairing one is likely not worth the cost. Without the actual pump in question, I can't tell you what the warranty period is. That is something you should have paperwork for. Chances are not good that the label is too readable on a submersible pump after a few years, but if you can get the model number and prove time of purchase, maybe you can get a free replacement.

You can spend whatever you want on a sump pump. You are paying for warranty, quality, etc. Used ones may not have a transferable warranty.

You would be much better off buying a completely NEW pump instead of repairing the old one. That would be my advice. Also, the chances of a repair are slim if the pump's warranty might have expired, given you bought it almost 3 years ago (depends on the model/brand).

From which store did you buy this pump ? Where do you live ?

The vast majority of well pumps I've come across are installed at the bottom of the well and are not removeable or repairable once so installed. They have to be drilled out and a new one lowered into place.

Another consideration is that most (well) pumps are cooled by the water they are pumping. Running one for long outside the cooling medium likely didn't help anything.
