Lubricant inside

[stevenlu]

Hello

My mp60's lubricant inside is running out and my pump has a hard time starting. It would start and shut down because the wetside is too stiff. What lubricants can I put on the inside to help it run smoother?

Thanks!

Check your wetside magnet. Might be rusted.

Check your magnet.

what can be wrong with the magnet?

I had a wet side that won’t spin freely due to the magnet expansion from rust.

Oh there's no rust on it. Its only used half a year. Just the lub is runnig out.

Not sure then. It should still spin fine without the lube.

It's just silicone grease that they smear on but that is not the issue why your pump is not turning freely.

Replace the bearings or buy a new dry side. If you're sure it's the motor and not the controller/power supply
