AO Smith Plumbing - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

you can go to any motor store for replacement

A O Smith does not make a Pump, they make motors, so... what pump do you have, so pump rebuild kit can be recommended?

It's a Capacitor, rated/measured in MFD's

It may be an air pressure problem. Plasma cutters require a constant flow of air at a certain pressure to work properly. If the compressor can't keep up and the pressure drops it can create problems. Have someone watch the pressure gauge while you're cutting to see if the pressure remains steady. You may need to adjust the compressor pressure switch or you may need a larger compressor.
Hope this helps.

tape it off

parts can be found on amazon, take a look here: Amazon com pool pump impeller I hope this was helpful. cheers

Too much or too little pressure. Check for air blockage or an ice blockage inside or outside the house. Were flames good color when lit?

The start capacitor or the centrifugal switch inside the motor are not working.

You might have to use a puller soak shaft with WD40 if rusty.

Highly unlikely. But hey, give a try and let me know how it goes.

WHAT IS THE PART NUMBER FOR THE IMPELLER AND THE MECHANICAL SEAL??

Probably, I assume everything is c-face and it has enough power.

Try posting in the correct area. It is a pump type motor but a I have no clue what a stamley 545 automatic gate is unless it is used to block access down a path or drive.

It should be either on the nameplate or junction box cover.

Without model info, try this link. Most motor brands follow pretty standard wiring setups. Please rate me if this helps. http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/AO-Smith-motor-wiring.pdf

PROBABLY MOISTURE IN PRESSURE SWITCH OR SNOW OR ICE BUILD UP NEAR VENT TERMINATION . PROBABLY JUST A BAD PRESSURE SWITCH

We have a Model 2801052103 Franklin Electric submersible pump, 1/2HP 230 Volt. It starts and stops when using water frequently. System is 30+ years old, could the well be bad?

It sounds like a bearing going in the motor. Most likely the front and probably not oil-able. If it is, 10 drops, non detergent, 10 weight. No penetrating oil. Work the shaft in and out as well as back and forth on-till loose. Be sure to kill all power first!!!!!!

Replace the leaking mechanical seal in the pump that is letting the water into the motor in the first place.
