Called Joe H. came and moved carts. Found loose wires during afternoon check out, while adjusting Sp. 1,2 blue rings called Joe H. again He said to just reattach wires at 07:45Z when stopping ventilation noticed that west chiller pump (#2) was making noise and getting hot. During afternoon checkout it was possible to touch pump easily for over 3 seconds. Now unable to touch for 1 second, also pressure gauge needle was starting to bounce. ---- Observing Log ---- Afternoon: ---------- 21:42Z Started the afternoon checkout.
