Found a universal tethered float switch at Ace ($29) and that did the trick.
Beats replacing the entire pump. *Couldn't get the screw out holding the old
switch, so the new switch is installed with cable ties strapped to the pipe,

Thanks all!


for any sump pump....

it's a good idea to manually lift the float switch say once a month
and make sure the motor runs....

the bearings can start to seize up if the motor is not run
periodically.
