Bilge Pump Failure Due to Mechanical Blockage

Mechanical failure occurs when the pump receives electrical power but cannot displace water. Inspect the pump's intake strainer and impeller area for debris such as sludge, leaves, or plastic. Verify if the impeller can be rotated manually without resistance. If the pump motor hums but no water is discharged, the blockage is preventing the mechanical pumping action.
