I had same problem after just little over year old. I thought water level may have gotten low too many times. Just bought used one this time. 4th pump in years.

Make sure the pump motor is set to your electrical service voltage. It will be 220v or 110v. The pump comes set up for 220 and needs to be changed to 110 via a selector switch located under the motor end cap. I'm guessing that is not the problem since you've had it operating for a year. Also, check on hair tangled into the impeller. If it is connected to a GFI breaker the breaker may be failing. I personally had that happen to me. The pump and motor otherwise seem quite bullet proof. I hope this info leads you to a solution. The odd noise seems a bit troubling and a piece of plastic pipe or cardboard tube to the ear may locate the noise. Bad bearing on the pump shaft end of the motor?

I'm not an expert, but it sounds like something is preventing the motor from running. It could be an obstruction in the impeller, or the motor might have rusted in position--especially if it hasn't been run for a while. If you can, you should remove the pump and take it to any shop that repairs electric motors. Even if they have to rebuild it, it would probably cost less than a new pump. Good luck!

I don't recommend this pump. The motor run life is likely not to exceed 1000 hrs and the shaft seal may leak during operation.

A faulty sensor or a small hole in the diaphragm, sorry not much help. You almost would need to out a pressure gauge on the line to see if it is true pressure drop triggering the cycle or a bleed in the system back through the pump. Crud or a hole interfearing with the actual pump assembly (not the motor). Aren't these things fun!

If it was working fine and then failed I'd get it replaced under warranty. Sounds like the motor or the fan itself is rubbing and now has completely failed - just a bad unit. But make sure nothing got inside it to bind it up. It should be under the 1 year warranty.

I am using the solar panels on two different pools, each pool has a 1 1/2 hp pump motor on it

Check Switch.Check for broken wires then check the plugs.If your fimiliar with electricty check to see if your getting power to the motor hope this helps

I might have to get a new pump because this one has blown the fuse 3 times now. Cool pump if it weren't for that problem...

It is only the motor. Your pump should attach to the new motor. Make sure you order new seals. You probably already know this but be sure you have your voltage switch on the same current as your old pump. Most are 120 but some are 220. Its very clearly marked.

I have an broke one the gfp plug won't stay 'on-line' so I don't know if the motor is any good. How old is yours - they are good on their replacement 1 year warranty.

I have the same exact problem. Trade Station suggests replacing the motor and if that doesn't work replace the diverted.

It's not expensive for a 1 1/2 hp pump that is 110/ 240 v when I shopped around I found the MSRP was false and varied end user prices were much closer. Watch for shipping fees pump is heavy. Use ground if possible

the number one is the one normally closest to the engine. and its most likely bad. I would replace it. and see if the other works after checking the connection. if you still have the second one not working I would then replace it. hope this helps.

Sounds like a circuit problem. Call a certified pool electrician if you can't check it out. I've had the pump for a few months now and it works like it is supposed to! No problemO!

Not enough information, look at the rpm on the old one, it probably won't be exactly the same as the new one,but that's ok, as long as it's close within 100-300rpm is ok, I recommend Buying the fan too as the old ones are tough to get off, the set screw breaks inside, this happened to me twice, again, look for your RPM'S and Voltage

I been running mine for past 4 yrs at frequency of abt 8 tires a yr frm 28psi to 37psi. I ran it with my engine running. None of my fuse pop b4. Try running it w engine running and plug out anything that is link n drawing frm yr power outlet cig socket. If fuse still pop, u might got urself a lemon unit as some electrical motor running w resistance within will draw more amp. My 2cents.
