Sta-Rite 3/4hp pump not working. Replace motor only?

[mas985]

I believe that motor is a capacitor start capacitor run motor so the start capacitor could be bad which is why it is not starting.

Does it hum at all when turned on?

Also check the breakers for the pump to make sure they have not triped. If the pump uses GFCI breakers, those sometimes go bad as well.

Not to put too fine a point on it . . . but if you have 4 pumps and a control panel, etc., you need an electrician to put eyeballs on your pool.

Trying to diagnose electrical faults remotely, without a diagram, meter readings or even a photo is sort of a fool's errand. Even with the best intentions, advice from here could lead you do something unsafe.

Locking this thread: sorry!
