If your sump pump has stopped working due to an electrical overload or motor overheating, you can reset it by performing a power cycle. Prerequisite: Unplug the pump from its electrical outlet immediately to prevent sudden unexpected activation. Wait approximately 20 to 30 minutes to allow the internal thermal overload switch and motor windings to cool down completely. Check the pit for any jamming debris around the float switch, then plug the power cord firmly back into the electrical outlet. Verification: Pour a bucket of water into the pit to verify that the float switch rises and the motor turns on normally.
