Repair guidance / Saniflo / BR6
The pump stays silent after flushing
Tell us whether waste remains high and whether the unit gives any sound at all. Stop further flushing and connected water use to prevent overflow. Do not defeat an electrical protection device or repeatedly reset it to force operation.
A different pattern: the run lasts longer than usual
Describe the change from the unit’s previous normal operation and which fixture is in use. Discharge conditions and the particular unit both matter. Do not repeatedly run it to obtain an exact timing if the waste is no longer clearing properly.
A fitted appliance behind a furniture door
Describe the visible furniture panel, plinth and surrounding cupboards. A built-in appliance needs its access and connection arrangement checked before removal; do not detach cabinetry or pull the appliance forward to make the enquiry.
Identify this Saniflo model
Copy the complete Saniflo model name from a safely accessible label. Different pumping units serve different connected fixtures; a similar shape does not establish replacement suitability.

Questions for this repair enquiry
What details help with “the pump stays silent after flushing”?
Keep the last successful operation separate from the first sign of the problem. For a report of “the pump stays silent after flushing”, say what still works and what no longer happens. If the other pattern, “the run lasts longer than usual”, has also occurred, include its timing as a separate observation. Send these details with the full model and your Orpington postcode; they prepare the enquiry without identifying a part in advance.
How does “the run lasts longer than usual” change the enquiry?
Treat that as additional evidence rather than proof that both symptoms have one cause. Explain whether the two patterns began together or appeared at different times. Include the fitting context — a fitted appliance behind a furniture door — so the assessment can account for safe access as well as the reported behaviour.
