I had the same issue. With my pump. Just randomly it switches from normal to

is a copper clip that makes the connection between the power and the motor.
this tiny little clip is bowed upward until pressure is placed on its center
then it snaps to a downward bow. Kind of like those metal hair clips do.
What went wrong is the clip sets into the trigger in a way to keep it bowed
upward To fix it you'll need a nimble touch. but reset the clip into place and
make sure its in the correct position before closing up the trigger case.
Hope this helps.

This was a pretty good answer. I say that partly becuase it explains
what the problem is, instead of just saying, as so many HOH do, "I had
the same problem. "

Except that it's been so long since he posted this. I gather the people
in HOH can't see any dates? I think the HOH people should fix that.

I also wonder if they ever see our answers. No one ever replies to one.
