MP10 Suddenly Really Loud

[jordan9095]

I came home from vacation yesterday and my MP10 was noticably louder. It is a quiet drive model so I would really only hear it on max pulse before this issue. Now it is making a loud ticking noise. I tried to clean the wet side and it is even louder now. So loud that I can't leave it on. Is there any tricks to fix this or do I need to buy another one? This one lasted less than a year.... maybe i'll get a different brand

Thanks

Did you take the prop off the shaft when you cleaned it?

Pull apart the wet side. This typically happens when you get something growing in the backside where the magnet spins in the housing. You'll likely see some streak markets or wear marks. Baby snails, worm tubs, or other calciferous creatures usually cause this.

If it isn't from that, I'd research bearings.

Make sure it doesn't look like this. Mine made a clicking noise when the magnet burst then just stopped in a couple days (for good).
