Hayward Tri Star overheat light?

[retfr8flyr]

I searched but couldn't find anything on this. Today my Hayward Tri Star pump stopped. The check system and pump overheat lights were on and they will not reset. The screen says hit resume and when I do it says starting normal operation but nothing happens and then the lights come back on. I have powered the system off and nothing changes. Anyone have any info for me. The manual is useless and I haven't been able to find anything searching.

Check the fan and fan cover for blockage. Make sure that the fan is creating good airflow over the motor.

Try turning off the power to the pump for 30 minutes.

Did the power off, I'll open it up and check what I can.

If it won't restart, I suspect that you will probably need a new drive.

If it's not too old, file a warranty claim.

I will have to file a claim, as I only installed it this year. I just hate to have it go out near the end of the season. I am going to order a new pump and then worry about fixing this one under warranty, this will give me a backup if i have future problems.

I thought I would give an update on my pump. I tore into it and found water in the wire connections area, the 220v connection wires and controller connections, I guess the silicone I used didn't seal it well enough. I dried everything out and sprayed it all with electronic contact cleaner. I got it running again and sealed both the inside and outside with silicone, initially I had only sealed it on the outside. Everything seems to be working fine now, I'll have to keep a closer eye on things from now on.
