If it's not that, take the pump off and rinse it thoroughly BACKWARDS in very hot water.

The pumps are rubbish.
Eventually the seals leak and the water gets into the motor and they seize up.
Tends to happen if you don't use them very often.

Mine was the same, take pump out and remove motor. Remove cap and Rotate spindle on motor with pliers and lubricate with wd40 and it should now work!
The motor seizes due to lack of use!
