Troubleshooting
Motor Will NOT Start – Check For:
Make sure the terminal board connections agree with the wiring diagram on motor data plate label. Be sure motor
is wired
for availab le field supply voltage (see pump operating label).
1. Improper or loose wiring connections; open switches or relays; tripped circuit breakers, GFCI’s, or blown fuses .
Solution: Check all connections, circuit breakers, and fuses. Reset tripped brea ker s or replace blown fuses.
2. Manually check rotat
ion of motor shaft for free movement and lack of obstruction.
3. If you have a timer, be certain it is working properly. Bypass it if necessary.
Motor Shuts OFF – Check For:
1. Low voltage at motor or power dro p (frequently caused by undersized wiring or extension cord use).
Solution: Contact qualified professional to check that the wiring gauge is heavy enough.
NOTE
-
Your pump motor is equipped with an “automatic thermal o ver load protector.” The motor will
automatically shu
t off if power supply drops before heat damage can build up causing windings to burn out. The
“thermal overload protector” will allow the motor to automatically restart once the motor has cooled. It will
continue to shut off until the pro blem is correct
ed. Be sure to correct cause o f overheating.
Motor Hums, But Does NOT Start – Check For:
1. Impeller j ammed with debris.
Solution: Have a qualified repa ir professional open the pump and remove the debris.
Pump Won't Prime, Check For:
1. Empty pump/strainer housing.
Solution: Make sure p ump/strainer housing is filled with water and cover o -ring is clean. Ensure o-ring is proper ly
seated in the cover o-ring groove. Ensure o-ring is lubricated and that strainer cover is locke d firmly in position.
Lubricant will help to create a tighter seal.
2. Loose connections on suction side.
Solution: Tighten pipe/union connections.
NOTE - Any self-priming pump will not prime if there are suction air leaks. Le
aks will result in bubbles
emanating from return fittings on pool wall.
3. Leaking O-ring on valves.
