fresh water pump
No fresh water in sink, shower, etc. Circuit breaker pops ~5 seconds after breaker is activated, pump is not pumping. Does this mean the pump has to be replaced, or could it be an electrical problem? Are there rebuild kits for water pumps? The pump looks just like the one in the original technical specs for the 27TE but is in my 27AC. When I try to find any reference to water pumps all the information is about the engine water cooling pump! Help appreciated.

Re: fresh water pump
It sounds like a bad pump, but it could also be a wiring issue. Can you get a model number off of the pump? Maybe a picture of the setup?
It may be the pressure switch has gone bad. And yes, some pumps can be rebuilt.
If it's within your skill level you could remove the pump and bench test it, isolate the issue.

Re: fresh water pump
Thanks. Yes, I can remove it and have someone show me how to bench test it. I will take a picture of it installed before I remove it, maybe then I'll remember how to put it back!
