Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Dec 12, 2011Sounds as though either the pump has failed, or the controlling circuit in the timer has failed. I am sorry to say that there is no easy fix to this as it can be all sorts of issues that caused this malfunction. It can be anyone of a dozen or so things that could have failed. It all depends on make, age and model if it pays to fix or just purchase another new machine.Helpful Reply

Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Dec 12, 2011Kevin has a good point, Some of the newer machines have removable clean outs that can be opened to remove old pennies and debris that can break up the cheap plastic pumps they now use. Perhaps your machine has one?Helpful Reply
