Filter stopped working

[Magglit]

Okay, so I bought a Power Filter 10 from TopFin and its supposed to support tanks up to 10 gallons(My tank is a 5 gallon by the way) and I got it yesterday from PetSmart with one of my friends and a couple hours after it was plugged in it randomly stopped working, so we took it apart and reassembled it, now Today when I got home it wasn't on and I didn't notice until later. It was plugged in, no water has been on the cords, I literally have no idea what is wrong with the filter

When it stop working, can you hear the motor still running? or is it completely dead? It's possible its a defective unit, when I worked at petsmart we had quite a few of these come back.

There is no noise coming from it

I'd take it back and exchange it. If it's only a couple days old they should swap it out in store for you.
