Troubleshooting tips for fixing your Craftsman shallow well pump when it won't pump water

• Check for prime. Stop the pump and disconnect electrical power. Remove the priming plug and see if water is in the priming hole. Re-prime the pump if the priming hole is dry.
• Check the foot valve or strainer for clogs.
• Check the pump impeller for debris and clean the impeller housing if necessary.
• Check water level in the well. You may need a deep well pump if water level is more than 25 feet below the surface.
