stoogesrule, Welcome to the DIY Forums.
I am not the expert here but can suggest what the problem is. The pump is located on the bottom right hand side and is bolted to the base. It has it's own motor. Disconnect the power before doing anything. Remove the hose(s) and see if anything is plugging them (it). Try to turn the shaft on the pump by hand. This is most likely where your problem lies. Watch this post for the expert opinions also. Good luck.
