New Whisperflo Trips Breaker

I received my new motor from Pentair via the Warranty process. I put the defective one on the tool bench and decided to inspect the starting cap again. After removing the cover this time I noticed two tiny black marks on the inside cover where the wires attach to the capacitor. I suddenly realized that the cap was shorting on the inside cover because it was not seated in the correct position. I reseated it correctly, put the new pump back inline, and presto it works!!

I could of saved myself much aggravation if I just noticed that before!

Thanks for all your help Al!

Glad it was a simple fix even with the added grief and wasted time. Guess it just slipped through their QC inspection. I'd certainly let them know what you found. Thanks for the update too.
