After filling or refilling the water reservoir, lift it from the base for at least 5 seconds before lowering it back into place.

If the fountain still won’t work, check if the impeller is jammed or missing. If the impeller is installed correctly and can rotate freely, follow the step-by-step cleaning instructions to give the fountain a thorough cleaning, removing any grime or obstructions.
