Greetings,
We had a fairly big storm here last night with considerable lightening. This morning, I find that my pump is not running. When I plug it in, the circuit breaker on the receptacle pops. I can plug other items in and they work fine. It's only when I plug in the pump. I have checked the wiring connections on the pump and I do not see any sort of charring. I cleaned the connections and cleared out all the dust bunnies and cobwebs but with no success. Just curious if anyone has any other suggestions I might try, other than buying a new pump. I'm hoping it wont come to that. Appreciate any input.
