Pump dying?

[packerup]

if you've ever had your pump die, were there any signs beforehand? My pump has been making some high-pitched sounds/squeaks and a clicking since last night, and I'm worried it's going to die on me. I'm going in to the city today (we live in a rural area) and not sure if I should get one just as a back-up. Otherwise, does anyone know if a PISA motor can be replaced? If yes, where would I go?

Call Medela customer service. They can walk you through the troubleshooting. If you are still under warranty, they very well may overnight you a new pump.

I'd get a manual as a 20 dollar peace of mind just in case, but yeah call medela

Agree - give them a call. I also have a manual for backup in emergencies...or just when it's more convenient than hooking up the double electric. It's saved me a couple of times when I've forgotten my medela at home\work.

Check your membranes and make sure all the valves are working.buy a manual of some kind if you pump a lot
And call medela you might be able to get ahold of them this weekend otherwise first thing Monday am and they'll walk you thru a pump check

Will they help me if its a used pump that I've had for over 3 years, since that means it's obviously not under warranty? I've used it about 5 months total between my two kids so far, but plan to pump at work or in the car 3-4 times a day. I hate admitting it, but I bought it on eBay. From what I remember, it either had never been used or just for a couple weeks ( so they said). I bought all new tubing and pump parts. The sound is a ding, not a squeak as I said in my original post.

Doesn't hurt to call!!
