I have had this pump for some months now and I had no problems with it until a bit ago when it stopped pulling liquid. I opened it up and found that the orange spinning things were broken on the bottom of them. Could this be the reason that it stopped pulling water? Can I super glue them to fix them?

Those are definitely why it stopped pulling, those are connected to that base and squeeze the tube as it spins.
I'm not seeing any direct replacements of that particular part. Looks like new heads are around $60. I don't think super glue would hold well, you could try weldon etc. but even then id be concerned.

Hello,
Thank you so much for the identification and solvent on the problem. I will try to find a way to fix it but if does not hold then I will have to purchase a new part. Thanks!
