The macerator starts when no fixture is being used

Unexpected cycling can involve incoming water, a connected fitting or the appliance's control arrangement. It is not automatically a failed motor.

Describe the intervals

Say whether it runs briefly at regular intervals or starts unpredictably. Include visible toilet cistern trickling or a dripping connected fixture if already noticed.

Consider the whole connection

An assessment can examine incoming flow and the unit's operating behaviour. Do not open a wastewater unit or adjust internal switches to stop the symptom.

A useful distinction

A brief run at a fixed interval and continuous running are different patterns. Keep them separate because a small recurring inflow can produce one pattern while a discharge or control problem may produce another.
