27hfs water pump not working

My water pump is not working when I switch over to my fresh water tank. I have checked fuses, wire connections at the pump, cleaned the filter and as far as I know I have no leaks. What am I over looking or what could it be?

Did you check the fuse at the water pump?
May look like this picture.
Do you have power at the pump?
Do you have power to the switch on your control panel?
These may be a few more things you must check and try to find voltage.

Is the trailer plugged in or on battery?

"Not working" is pretty vague.

Is there a light in the water pump switch when you turn it on?
Is it making noise but not pumping water?
Is it running but not shutting off?

The light is on at the control panel, the pump has no sound coming from it. The trailer is plugged in to 110v power at the moment. I have not checked the fuse at the pump but will today. Thank you.

Could be as easy as a loose connection on the pump if the pump is not coming on. Do you have a volt meter? Pull the wires off the motor and turn the pump switch on and check with your probes to see if you have power coming down to the motor.

What do you mean by 'no leaks'? What is the pump doing or not doing?

I thought I had a pump problem, but it turned out that I forgot to switch the knob back to where it was when I filled the water tanks
