    Pentair whisperflo WF-24 humming with no start - New Motor or whole new Pump?

    Voltage was correct - thanks for the tip James. I replaced the motor and seal and all is well! Was very easy to replace and was a fraction of the price of a new pump and new plumbing. Could not fix the old motor but may open it up for fun over the summer. Thank you all for the tips.

    On pool opening in N.J. the main pump did not want to come to life. I get an electric humming noise followed by safety shutoff. Impeller is clear, crank turns both ways with ease (did the YouTube stuff). Capacitor looks fine but ordered a replacement - that did not work - same issue. I noticed...
