Today my pump would not start and all I got was a humming noise from the motor, until eventually the circuit breaker tripped. I had visions of a major repair job and cost on my hands until I read some of the forum posts here talking about how it could just be the capacitor(s). But some of the posts mention a pump motor could have either 1 or 2 capacitors. Before I spend the time trying to remove the back cover and look for a second capacitor (I have the hump on top so I know where at least 1 capacitor is), can anyone help me determine if my motor has 1 or 2 capacitors? I've done a bit of research online but cannot find any documentation on the actual motor parts.

Here is what I do know....

- Jandy PlusHP Model PHPM2.0
- Century Centurion/A.O.Smith motor
- Part #7-193987-24
- Type: CX
- FR: Y56Y
- Replacement Part # R047913
