How old is the skimmer and when is the last time you cleaned the pump? Sounds like a calcium buildup on the magnet of the impeller.

could the magnet on the impeller started to swell. This would cause the impeller to get stuck. You may need a new impeller from coralvue. Depending on age it could be under warentee but impossible if bought used.
