Cockpit Freezer Pump Issue and Ice Chipper... Coincidence or Something Else?

After countless hours this winter installing a new Furuno system and pulling fish boxes to replace pumps and doing other maintenance I felt like I was finally prepared for our first trip of the year this Memorial. Over the past week I have been loading the boat and putting things back together in preparation. To my surprise the cockpit freezer and Eskimo Ice Chipper are both having issue with their respective pumps not running. The freezer will begin cooling and after a few minutes will auto shutdown from the pump not engaging. I have checked the strainer and no issues. I have disconnected hose at the pump and it isn't pumping anything.

Next I went to Eskimo and the 2 red lights on the lower right of the sensor unit turno on and I flip the switch on the Eskimo as instructed but the pump for it never engages. Both units use a small March pump and both are located behind the Port engine. I have already replaced the March pump for the AC units and those are running fantastic now but what are the odds that both pumps for the chipper and freezer die at the same time as well? Other than the breakers on the panel is there a switch elsewhere on a Cabo that I am supposed to check? I haven't used them since purchase but I can't imagine that moving the boat and not cycling them for several months would cause any issue. I have been focused on so many other projects on the boat that I hadn't looked at these units or needed them until now. This isn't going to change my trip but I need to fix them ASAP as I am going fishing offshore after this shakedown trip. I have no issue buying new pumps but want to make sure I am not missing something else first.

I assume these are the same model pumps. Only one has a label but they appear to be same model. If anyone can confirm that would also be great.

Any input is appreciated. I have a call into Glacier and will probably make a call to Eskimo tomorrow before I head out on the boat.

Thanks

They don't feel like they are trying to work. I have been hesitant to cut any wires up to this point to place a volt meter at the units to test for power but it sounds like I am headed that way.

We pulled outlet hose off freezer pump and it had a prime.

Seacocks are open and strainers checked.

Not sure what is going on.

No we put a clear hose on outlet and water pressure being under water line pushes water up hose to water line about a foot above pump and that is all. Pump Doesn't even turn on.

I had water pump on A.C. crap out after working fine for a few months. Replaced pump and no issues since with that unit.

They had not ever been turned on since relocating boat until a few days ago.

It has prime. Pump doesn't feel like either are clicking on at all. On the boat now on family trip. Engines ran great today. A 65 RTIC will have ice duty this weekend. Might put a volt meter on wires to pump tomorrow depending on what is going on.

Skip,

Thank you. The Eskimo had a label indicating 220V, but the freezer did not. From looking at breaker I suspected it was 110V. Thank you for confirming.

I hope to have some time today to mess with it.

Eskimo is up and pumping water. That is the good news. The water inlet had small valve just before reservoir body. It was was closed. There must be a relay in control panel of unit. Once I opened up and cycled unit it began pumping water but no ice was being produced. After a few min of hearing compressor cycle and immediately stop I turned it off and tie wrapped wires back into loom and secured to frame of unit. As I was getting up I turned unit back on and this time it began running but was making a horrid grinding sound. I looked at manual and went and disconnected water supply clear hose going into freezer assembly from reservoir body. It was flowing good. I reconnected and wiped up water and tried again. Still same grinding sound. The troubleshooting guide that came with my Eskimo instructions indicated to check water supply and vent hole. I believe vent hole is for units prior to 2001. This unit is an 07'.

Haven't had time to look at freezer but I am thinking it is something simple O am not aware of.
