PE-2.5F34 pumps (2) kick the GFI breaker. Tested with another breaker. No binds on the impeller. One would be thinking they may have an issue. One pump is 3 years old and the other is about a year old
Test Gfi with any other three prong device that you can carry out there an test it with (drop light, vac cleaner,ETC.) , if gfi holds on! replace pump
SOURCE: Pondmaster 250: Impeller or motor broke?
pondmaster 250 comes with a 3 year manufacturer warranty you should just exchange it for a new one. Overheating from low water sounds like the issue but as long as the shaft and housing are not scarred from debris they will replace without any questions
SOURCE: Pond pump trips circuit breaker
The circuit breaker trips because there is an electrical short in the pump itself or in the wire feeding the pump. A cause of this could be a bare wire, or a crack in a wire. Remove the pump and put it in a five gallon pail of water and test it. If it still trips the breaker you will know the problem is in the pump or the cord to the pump.
SOURCE: pentair whisperflo pump will not turn on
See if you can manually operate each pump. I suspect the problem is not with the pumps themselves. Track the control from the pumps to the motherboard, which I suspect. Whatever it is, it has all the pumps in common with it. Maybe just a simple control switch that is exposed to the elements.

Typical with these pumps, pumps I have rebuilt that have done the same thing what happens is the bearings get loos and cocks the armature that is why it won't spin. I did serious research on these pumps and came up with a rebuild kit some parts bought some I make. I did mine 2 years ago and still working like a champ and have done over 20 locally with no problems. If your pump is noisy or the impeller has fallen off (typical) due to water getting in the unit and causing the bearings to fail email me and I can rebuild your pump. The process is simple send me the pump I will look at it and see if it can be rebuilt at NO CHARGE if it can be rebuilt you will save over 60% of a new one. Don't spend $349 - $599 on a new one let me look at it for free if I can rebuild it great if not you will have to buy a new one. I am not a dealer for any pumps so you will not have to worry about me selling you a pump and if you want the old one back pay the shipping and it it all yours.
