I have a 1 hp - 2 speed pump. It runs & will start up on high, but if I try to start it on low, it will try, then trip the plug. If I start it on high, I can switch it to low & it will run.

Right now I am running on high all the time, but would like to fix it. (I'm in California so a new pump is not cheap.) Is this something I should watch youtube videos on and try to fix myself? Ok, really I mean direct my husband on what needs to be done. Anyone have this problem before?
 
Can you post a picture of the pump and motor, including any labels? You do not show what you have in your signature. Details can help our members provide accurate guidance.
