wavemaker

[Yanni]

I have a tsunami wavemaker, this morning i went to unplug a pump and it wouldnt let go, i pulled harder and a nice big spark flew and the unit burned out. I opened it up and it looks like a wire burned out but i have no clue how to repair or change it. Anyone wanna give it a shot?

I'm not 100% sure what is inside of these. But, with a wavemaker there is some means of cycling the on/off, and these electrical components are usually very susceptible to failure from shorts.
Replacing the wire should be fairly easy, if that will fix the problem is the unknown.
Most likely some salt creep got in there & fused the metal plug to the receptacle. Pulling on the plug caused the metal plug to pull up & short against the housing (or caused the wire to come loose - same result)
This may have only caused the wire to burn out. I don't have any electrical test equipment or I'd check it for you
