This morning the water pump went silent. Appears to have power as the light works when turned on. Fresh Tank is full.
Thoughts?

We were in Waterloo any beat Seneca NY.
 
I assume you're not connected to city water?

You can try cycling 12V, then don't forget to turn the pump on again as it defaults to OFF most likely.

It could be the pump, the water pump controller or your fancy KiB which I'm not familiar with.

The pump is a simple 12V setup so you could bypass the controller and just attach a 12V hot and negative and see if the pump works or not. I carry a spare pump, not something I want to be without, and also a spare water pump controller.
 
My WP quit last winter in the keys, easy to replace in my DS, took only 3 beers to swap out
 
you can try unplugging the pump controller or maybe just shutting of the salesman switch for a minute and then back on.. some times those controllers loose their minds
 
All obvious steps tried, salesmen switch, fuse, cycle switch. Nothing. So I guess a new pump is in order.

did you check for 12 volts at the pump, if it's there... Yep pump time

I used to be a fan of the REMCO Aquajet ARV but the last one within a month has been warrantied out 1 and the new one is not like the old ones. I would try another brand
