  • Bio wheel not spinning

    So a bio wheel wasn't spinning great for a while, it quit last week. No matter what port I put it in.

    Ordered a new wheel (yes the right one) and check this



    Any ideas ?

    That's wild. This may be stupid, but did you try flipping it the other way?

        Really easy fix is the plastic were the bio wheel sit
        Try to check if it have calsium buildup or try change the ones they work with the other ones I think in that model are purple check for wear too

          That was my initial thought too, but the other biowheel works on both sides

            Check your bearings on the side. The may worn out. If had that issue before and once I changed them out it was fine.

              I thought about bearings on the side too and cleaned it out. One bio wheel works on it and two didn't lol. I may change em out anyway now.
