Is this a primochill unit? I've heard a couple peoples pump not working because it was assembled too tight or something like that. Perhaps consider re-buildint hte pump unit a bit looser?

Its a xspc d5. Ill try loosening it. Hopefully it won't leak.  Any other suggestion.  Im hoping the pump isn't dead.

The only other thing is to check that your molex pins are in place, sometimes they can pop out of place, although I don't really see why that would cause intermittent behaviour. Hopefully you can sort it out.

Now i think about it. I did do something oretty stupid. I washed the whole pump thinking it was water proof. The electrical may be flooded with water. But id think it wouldnt work at all then. Also loosening it didnt help.
