my newteam shower pump is not working?

My shower pump just stopped, no pressure to the shower. Can you advise what the problem may be

The motor is probably at or near the end of its life. It could be that the motor itself has stopped on a "blind spot" on the bushes (poor connection inside the motore means it will not start). You could try tapping it gently with a mallet or a hammer cushioned with a folded towel. Try starting it again by activating the shower. If this does not work, try disconnecting the pump from the water supply (4 pipes) and cleaning the inlet/outlet filters. While out give the pump itself a few gentle taps on a hard surface. This may move the bushes on from a blind spot. Re-assemble he pump and if you are lucky it may work. However, this is unlikely to be a "permanent" repair and may last for only a few days or weeks (depending on the level of use). You will need to replace the unit, unless you can find repair depot.
