It is wired the way it was and the sticker is the same as the one posted earlier so it appears incorrect and I'll move it. Thanks. I'm curious as to why it would work in the first place at all? Any ideas? thanks.

Ok. . follow up. It was the pump/motor. To answer the questions above it has always been wired like that. I was able to find a new unit and remove the old and rewire exactly as shown in my photo and boom, it worked. I did notice a couple of black spots onthe wires and a slight smell of...

Checked circuit breaker - good. Checked voltage going in and out of the timer - stead and solid 243. Replaced the capacitor. Nothing, still no movement, noise or anything from the motor. Here is a photo from the inside/back of the motor.

This afternoon I noticed my Polaris wasn't moving and went and checked and the booster pump (PB4-60) is not working. No noise, no hum, nothing. How can I test to see if the pump is bad or it is something with the timer box. It is 3 years old so surprised the motor went out already. The...

I think this was it! I was getting 120 on each going to ground which I thought was correct. But not 240 going L1 and L2. I went back to the breaker box and checked there and got very similar results. 120 each going to ground but NOT 240 when going L1 and L2 (it would something like 20). I...

Jim - so can you walk me throught this so I can confirm? If i place the meter probes on red/red and black/black at the pump it should read 240? Not 120 on each side to ground? Thanks

Also, here are some readings with a volt meter on the main pump side (similar on the booster). Photo 4 is the reading from the red wire of 122 Photo 5 is the reading from the black wire of 122 Photo 6 is them together and they read 1.4?

Thanks for all the replies. . .here are some photos. . . Photo 1 - right side (booster pump) BEFORE replacement Photo 2 - Both left/right after replacement Photo 3 - Both left/right after replacement close up
