My 1.0 Sta-rite Dura Glass pool pump will not start

Hello. My 1.0 HP Sta rite pool pump will not start. It makes no noise...nothing. I just replaced the capacitor because the old one had black goo seeping from it. I had a so called pool repairman friend, tell me my whole motor is bad. He never even took the pump apart. What else can I check that might be wrong? I am a single mom with three kids, one who is disabled. Any advice will be so helpful. Thank you all.

Could be a simple fix, take the motor down to your local pool pump motor repair shop that has free testing. it might be a bad thermal protector or a dirty start switch
always check for power first, could be bad breaker or bad or dirty timer contacts..jay

Lock the shaft at the end where you electrical connections are made (disconnected of course!) and spin it off counterclockwise.

3 hp hot tub motor Sta-Rite tub has two speed low for filtering and high for jets low starts and then stops high speed works fine

make sure you make a wiring diagram or just unplug the plug from the mother board and search your area for your local pool pump repair guy with free testing. these are a high $$$ motor and not a good one to practice on, save it for a pro ! it might just be a dirty switch or need to be reset I don't charge any thing for that, and while your there ask him how to take better care of your $$$ pump ?

I have a STA-Rite dura Glas H/L 1 1/2 - 1/4 hp pump. it is on it's 7th year. recently it has started to make a screeching noise. Can it be repaired or should it be replaced?

you can take your motor to the local Motor Shop and have them put new bearings in it. That is usually what causes that noise in the motor.

When I turn it on it just makes a loud humming noise. Any ideas?? Thanks

Check to see if you can turn by hand, Open housing and do this. Turn on and see if you can spin it and make it start(CAREFUL) If it won't turn ether when off or while it has power going to it, UH-OH! it's time for a new motor. If it will turn and starts when you spin it, it is probably just a start capacitor. Good luck.

I have a 1 hp in ground Flotec pool pump. It is not pumping the proper flo. It makes noise when it starts but then clears up. The motor sounds good. How do I get a manual on the parts for the pump...

GOOD LUCK GETTING PARTS FOR THIS.. FRANK , IF WERE MY POOL I WOULD CHANGE THAT PUMP OUT TO A STA-RITE DURA GLASS.. FLOTEC IS A POOR COPY OF THE STA RITE.. OR YOU CAN CHECK THE IMPELLER IF IT IS PLUGGED WITH TRASH OR IT COULD HAVE A BAD CAPACITOR.. BRING IT IN AND HAVE IT CHECKED..

I have a sta rite 1 hp 115/230 motor i cant find where the white wire goes do you have a diagram

I assume you mean the white wire under the rear motor cover? If so Sta-Rite puts a wiring diagram inside this back cover. Hopefully it is still intact for you. Depending on your model and if it is wired for 115vac or 220vac will make a difference. I would suggest you go to the link I attached and look up your manual. The manual will have the wiring diagram for you.
