Check your loacl yellow pages for an electric motor repair shop. They may find it is fixable but could at least tell you if it is salvagable or not. Some even carry replacement motors at costs lower than the pool stores.
SOURCE: Motor Hums,No Run
Inside the back case on the motor you'll see a white piece with two copper colored arms that have two silver points that almost touch. If these are rusty I've found that the motor won't turn over
. A quick fix is to take some 600+ grit Aluiminum oxide sandpaper and give each of those contact points a brisk sanding to remove any oxidation. This will help the points make a positive contact . Make sure while very obvious that the motor is unplugged first.
SOURCE: motor hums when turned on. took apart from pump
It does sound like a start capacitor problem so, yes, it think that would fix it.
SOURCE: I have a hayward 2hp pool pump motor that hums but
your starter capastor has gone bad or got diconnected it`s look`s like round cylender 2 inch by 4 inch dimention`s or it could be an internal (inside the motor) depending how new the motor is

Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.
Your motor bearings are failing. It is most often caused by a leaking pump seal. It is a relatively inexpensive repair if it is caught early enough; before the shaft is damaged from the corrosive water eating into the steel. Take it to a local electric motor repair shop for inspection. It will likely need a set of 203 bearings and a 201 seal. All told, depending on the labor rates, it should be less than $75.
If this answer does not fix your problem, please comment with additional details prior to rating the answer. Positive feedback is appreciated once your problem is solved!
