I have one MP10 with two power heads to swap out for my Nuvo 20, I just cleaned both but now neither will magnetize. Anybody know why? I’m using the spacer , I’ve never had this problem , I’ve had power heads under a year.

I’ve read some people unplugging the dry side and connecting them. Something about the electric current doing something to the magnets.

Unplug the motor and it somewhat refreshes it ? Hmm I had stuck my hand and pretty much force held it for like a minute and it started working , I can hear the propeller spinning , unless it’s the motor but I hope it’s not hurting my tank mates , they’re just chilling right now . Thank you for that !
