A cracked dial housing that no longer holds its setting is also a lid issue, not a motor issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCovered by Fluval's standard replacement-parts warranty against manufacturing defects, in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

If it's caused by clogged media or a worn impeller, replacing the lid alone won't fix it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fluval","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55293306274083,"sku":"FVL55","price":80.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/7236\/5347\/files\/FVL55_1.jpg?v=1782879982","url":"https:\/\/nicksaquariumoceanariumterrarium.com.au\/products\/fluval-fx6-black-filter-lid-cover-with-dials","provider":"Nicks Aquarium Oceanarium Terrarium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
