Motor failure shows the same symptom as a mechanical jam, so it pays to check the spool path and clean the sensor before assuming the motor is at fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it doesn't fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the current-generation gear motor for the 250, 500 and 1200. If you have an older or discontinued ReefMat model, check with us before ordering — we haven't been able to confirm compatibility beyond the current three-model range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitting it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA direct-fit replacement for the existing motor assembly. Basic tools only — no plumbing has to be disturbed. Before fitting, clear the fleece spool path of any jammed material and clean the internal sensor; a jam or a dirty sensor produces the same \"won't advance\" symptom as a genuinely failed motor, and it's the cheaper fix to rule out first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGoes well with\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed Sea ReefMat 1200\u003c\/strong\u003e — one of the three models this motor fits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine inlet hose and hose connector kit\u003c\/strong\u003e — worth checking at the same time if you're already into the plumbing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty and delivery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovered by Red Sea's manufacturer warranty on parts, in addition to your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law.
