Water Pump Trouble Maybe?

I am hooked up to city water. I happened to notice that the water pump was turned on at the control panel. I do not have any water in my fresh water tank. Did I burn up my water pump? I have a 2013 3900FB.

When you are hooked to city water the pump generally won't run. If it had they will tolerate a little running without damage

Place some water in the tank. Disconnect the city water and then turn on the pump. It should turn on. Open a faucet. It may take a bit to pump the air out of the lines first then the water. If the pump does not run, then check to ensure there is battery to the pump. If so, then the pump may be bad.

If it doesn't run when you have water in the tank, before you junk it, make sure you don't have a fuse that burned out.

If you are connected to city water, with valve turned to "fill", pump will run if turned on.
