Is it normal for an Icecap K1-130 skimmer pump to die in less than a year?

I have an Icecap K1-130 skimmer and the pump on it just died. I've had the thing less than a year. Is this normal? Is it possible to get replacements?

IceCap is not known for quality, durable mechanical components to my knowledge. That being said, they do have a 1-year warranty, definitely reach out:
