Just replaced a Hayward 2hp pool motor with a OA Smith 2hp pool motor and when i turned it on it starts to switch between high and low and it shuts off. the motor makes a tic tic sound. What do you think it could be the problem? is the a switch in the motor to go from 115 to 230?

All electric motors run hot and pool pumps are no different. But how hot is too hot for a pool pump? The first test is simply whether you can touch the motor or not. Under normal operating conditions, the motor end of the pump is hot enough that you can barely touch it - but not searing hot.

Best to you.

Program again the timer. Timer disproggramed.
There is a lot of kind of timers.try to tell me what kind of timer you have.see config of the timer.

I think you have a failed start capacitor. Have your motor looked at by your professional pool supply.

You will need a two speed time clock to really take advantage of real energy efficiency savings. Intermatic makes one that fits in place of the original t104 time clock. You will need to run an additional wire to the pump as well. You will have the ground. Then one common wire that is always hot whether or not you are on high speed or low speed. You could make this a white wire. Then a black wire for your high speed that is energized in high speed and a red wire for the low speed. It is important that the high and low speeds not be energized at the same time, otherwise you will hear a very unpleasant sound coming from the motor, and failure and shortened life of the motor will be realized.

any good electric motor shop should be able to

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

you need to lube the motors shaft with electric motor oil they sell it in any hoby shop

Make sure the motor spins by hand, then make sure the contacts on the v shaped start switch as closed when motor is off and make sure the capacitor is good a bad one usually leaks black stuff all over. To avoid buying a capacitor you might not need have it tested
