could have a bad run capacitor or a start capacitor . search your area for your local pool pump motor repair guy with free testing, 9 years old that motor needs to be rebuilt.. i charge 85.00 to rebuild a 2hpincludes a free shaft seal.. remember to prime the pump with water after a repair !! best of luck .. oh breakers become week after amount of time time .. and ask the repair guy if this is the right size pump for you pool.. 9 out of 10 times its way too big !.. jay longwood florida
The motor is stuck. If you remove the lower cover and see a square aluminum motor it is less than 7 years old. Make sure power is off at breaker and rotate the motor shaft by turning the fins inside the motor. If the motor is black and round you have to turn the fan blade which is located in a slot between the metal pump and the plastic pump. Also once freed, a light shot of silicone or WD-40 (silicone works better) at the bearing ends. Also check pump for leaks around the drain solenoid (shiny shaft attached to a plastic triangle). If it's leaking during pumpout, the seal has failed. The pump runs around 100 dollars typically. Hope this helps.
It's
possibly the circuit breaker rather than the dryer itself. Usually when
it trips, it is overloaded or shorted. Overload can be a result of a
loose connection or a bad heating element,when you remove the old breaker, see if it has some noticeable burn/corrosion marks where the wire is screwed down, I think replacing the breaker will fix the problem. Hope this helped Tim
I had the exact same issue. I left mine out for the winter and when I plug it in, the breaker trips. My warranty was up so my friend took it apart. The seal had broken alowing water to leak into the bottom the pump where the wires connect to top of motor. This is supposed to be water free and is protected by several seals.
I am currenlty trying to put sealant where the cord goes into unit to stop water from going in. I will let you know how that works.
One tip my friend recommeded is to make sure there is no stress on the cord as it appears this seal is weak and and kind of stress will break it. hope this helps -- Rob
