This sure sounds if the impeller is blocked and not being able to turn ,Dont let it run this way , can dammage motor of pump , remove intake cover (unplugged) and wash out with garden hose real well , see if impeller (black plastic blade) can turn with your finger (unplugged) , should move easy ! this might be an indacation of need for a filter on pump inlet !!!

Why would my pump be humming very loudly?

It might have some worn parts inside, like the bearings, or bushes

Won't pump water

UNPLUG PUMP AND SEE IF THE IMPELLER IS JAMED, IF IT SPINS FREE TRY IT WITH A SHORT DISCHARGE HOSE. POSSIBLE BLOCKAGE IN DISCHARGE HOSE WILL TRAP AIR AND WONT LET PUMP PRIME.

Beckett waterfall / fountain pump W1800 pops breaker everytime you plug it in, consequently it won't run.

Sounds like there are too many things running on the same breaker. Try unplugging some of the other things on that breaker.

Why won't the fuel pump shut off

Fuel pump won't be the cause. Most likely the relay.

Problems priming little giant pw-95 pump

since this is a waterfall pump , id try using a short piece of dish hose and see how it flows water then , if it works there then id say your demand to lift is too great and a larger pump will be needed to lift that high ,

also note on waterfalls id leave out the ck valve on dish pipe , i know it takes longer to reprime itself each time , but that reverse flow action cleans your intake screen each time it shuts off
