anthonykoh Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 just setup a MD40 to my mini beckett and find that a sharp noise is coming out from the pump every 30sec.. Is there any service center available? Futhermore, it leaking from one of the nut .. one drop every 1min... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Kenji80 Posted February 17, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted February 17, 2005 Try cleaning it. The noise from my MD55 will go off after I dismantle and clean it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weileong Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I believe the "sharp" noise comes from the bearing. This is just time bomb waiting for failure only. Get is changed ASAP As for the leak, you gotta open up and check the O-ring. Is this a 2nd hand pump?

SRC Member Kenji80 Posted February 18, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted February 18, 2005 Try taking out all the screws. Do not tighten the each screw at 1 shot, spread out the tightening from screw to screw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambystoma82 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 most prob from e misalignment of rotatin components or bearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weileong Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 The noise is due to the bearing, most probably the one at the rear near the fan (there's two bearing in the MD40 BTW). You only took out the front impellor casing. Like the rest said, either the O-ring not seat properly or the 6 screws are not tighten evenly. Is this a new MD40? I would return it and ask for a new one if there's any warranty. It'll fail soon for sure Quote Weileong's 4ft tank Part I Weileong's 4ft tank Part II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
