They have great customer service and sent me out new valves in 2 days and ultimately a new pump when valves turned out to not be the problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ameda-users-help-me-troubleshoot#post-1671003 Sun, 01 Jun 2014 05:41:30 +0000 LittleFox 1671003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would try replacing the valves and diaphragms </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ameda-users-help-me-troubleshoot#post-1670919 Sat, 31 May 2014 22:15:17 +0000 merriment 1670919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the same experience as Lemonlong--putting on brand new little white rubber things (valves) made a big difference. You may also want to consider changing the diaphragms, that might make a difference as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ameda-users-help-me-troubleshoot#post-1670885 Sat, 31 May 2014 21:30:49 +0000 avivoca 1670885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonLong: I've been rotating them (I have two sets of pump parts). I will try that too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ameda-users-help-me-troubleshoot#post-1670882 Sat, 31 May 2014 21:28:46 +0000 LemonLong 1670882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you replaced the little white rubber things lately? Putting new ones in always helped my output. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ameda-users-help-me-troubleshoot#post-1670873 Sat, 31 May 2014 21:22:37 +0000 avivoca 1670873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long story short, over the past two weeks my supply has dipped. It's not as low as it was when I was sick (I went from pumping 11 oz to barely getting two), but I'm struggling to get 11 oz a day. I pump for volume and need 12 oz to get through the day. I am consuming enough calories,have made lactation cookies, and am working on getting more veggies in my diet. </p> <p>All that to say, I think my pump is not working as well as it should. It fell onto the floor a couple of weeks ago...would that have hurt it? All my parts are tight and not misshapen, so I don't think that is the problem. </p> <p>I have 4 months left before I make my goal of BF for a year, so I hope I don't have to buy a new pump. </p>
