SOURCE: Leaky 4 HP hot tub pump seal AO SMITH motor, pump

If you have removed the impeller this is what you need.
Part number for your shaft seal is : 37400-0028s
Here is a link to the manual on how to install / remove this seal on this pump:
http://www.hottubs.com/content/pdf/Sta-Rite_Dura-Jet_S377(9-12-03).pdf
Refer to page 9.
This seal can be purchased anywhere on the internet. Just do a google search with only the part number. Many suppliers will come up. If you have trouble, I have a few and can make an E-bay sale for one.

Testimonial: "Thanks, and especially for the link to the manual. This is exactly what I needed. Mark"

SOURCE: Im replacing a 2 speed

to wire a single speed motor you use only the black, white and green wire. there is usually a wiring diagram on the side of the motor to show how this is done.
no wiring diagram then put the black wire on the L1 or H1 post and the white wire to the common and of course the green to ground

I have a Hayward in ground pool pump with an AO Smith model# k48m2n111. It's 10 years old now but yesterday it stopped working and just whines real loud when i start it . Could it be a quick fix? Is it...

Hayward pumps are poor quality. You're lucky to get ten years. In 4 years I've needed the motor replaced twice and the pump repaired. The motor is starting to whine again. Just a matter of time before it fails. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Hayward.

Why is new ao smith pump getting hot

Most motors are warm to hot when running.
Is it getting so hot that the thermal overload is turning it off? If so the pump should restart once it cools down.
If this is a new motor on an old pump (replacement) it is likely to be:
1.) Incorrect or loose wire connections.
2.) Low voltage supply (frequently caused by undersized wire).
3.) Lack of fresh air supply to motor due to clogged vents.
4.) Incorrect amperage of replacement motor.

My AO Smith motor sounds like it is jammed. When the pump starts you can hear the motor buzz but it wont actually turn on. then after about 5-10 seconds the put shuts completely off. I replaced this pump...

sounds like jammed or bearing seized water could have seized bearing spray and lube bearings than try by hand [with a non marring pliers or if can grab impeller] and try to turn motor by hand to loosen motor-- when motor doesnt turn it heats up and will turn off till it cools down this is a safety u may get lucky and the motor will run if it hasnt shorted out a winding

I have Hayward Centurian SE 2 hp pool motor pump,around 15 years old. Just the other day it started making a loud whining noise. Is there a quick fix for this?

if its whining but still spinning, the bearings are done. If it just makes a loud noise, the capacitor could be bad or the bearings have seized.

I have a hayward super pump. Model K48M2N111 The pump is 4 years old and it just stopped working while running. No noise, no click sound.. The power is still on as I also have a pool light which comes on....

NO FUSE, YOU CAN USE A VOLT METER AND CHECK THE 2 SCREWS WHERE THE POWER HOOKS UP ON THE BACK OF THE MOTOR , THIS SHOULD BE A 230 VOLT SYSTEM . IF NO POWER AT THE MOTOR THEN CHECK IT AT THE TIMER AND THEN THE BREAKER.. GOT 230 OR SO ? IT'S A BAD MOTOR .. LOOK AND SEE IF YOU HAVE A PUMP REPAIR SHOP IN YOUR AREA THAT DOES FREE TESTING , YOU WILL NEED TO BRING IN THE MOTOR .. FOR FREE TESTING REMEMBER TO VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE FIXIT GUY ! THANKS JAY
