Default water faucet

I have a 29' Fever and water will not come out of the faucet. I have water in the tank and I can hear the pump running but no water comes out. Is the pump bad? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Today's high temperature of 29F might have something to do with it!

Seriously though, I do not know if the pump is broke. It sounds like it is running.

I had the check valves go bad and that is what happens-pump runs, but won't develop pressure. The valve head is usually replaceable separately so you don't need a whole new pump.

check and make sure that there is not a hole in the hose from the tank to the pump. Mine had a loose clamp at the pump and would not pull the water from the tank. Also make sure the pressure line clamp is also tight. I found out the wet way mine was loose to.

I have a 2000 38' Fountain and I had the same problemwith mine. Try hooking the water hose to the fill inlet fitting in the engine compartment. Turn on faucet and water pump. Open the spigot like you're filling the tank, and, now this is the key, hold your finger over the vent for the tank and it will prime that pump and that should fix it. Rush

I had 2 problems with faucet on my 32'. First was that there was a kink in the hose on the port side where it makes the bend down towards the floor and into the cuddy. Second was that there was debris in the check valves on the pump head-simply removed them and cleaned voila pump works. Hope this helps. Ken
