I've got the same problem. Actually, mine sometimes even dies twice. I've
gone to Hesco a number of times with no luck. I've done everything they've
recommended, and replaced parts that might even remotely have something to
do with it. No luck.

If you fix it, please share with the rest of us.

Thanks.
