Yeah, I see that now. I'd been told when I purchased it that it was a direct replacement for the CT1102, but I guess that was incorrect information. Is it just straight up dead now? Any way to fix it, or am I just out the money?

Thanks for the reply! Here are the labels. Like I said, CT1102 and UCT1102:

I had an issue with my old 1081 CT1102 1 HP motor. I wasn't able to fix it, and ultimately ended up replacing it with a new UCT1102, which is just the more eco-friendly version of the one I had. I installed the new pump and turned it on. I kept an eye on it for about ten minutes and everything...

So my attempts at soldering failed. Tried four different hardware stores talking to their staff about other means to secure it, but nothing ended up working. I think I'm ready to throw in the towel and take it a professional repair shop at this point.

Sorry for the lack of info in the original post. I circled in red where I believe the wire disconnected. It's a 1081 CT1102 AO Smith 1 HP motor (Mod. K48L2N100A1).

The pump was humming and shutting off, so I went to remove the capacitor to test it, and as I pulled off the leads, one of them just popped off (see the included pic). I assume I'll need to sodder it back on, but I don't own any soddering equipment, and have never used any before, so I wanted to...

Thanks for the replies. I did end up just ordering the T104.

There is no neutral wire coming from the breaker or the motor. Both have two hots and one ground. Hence my problem.

No, no return policy for the T103. So no work around other than buying a 240v motor?

Hey... so the timer on my pump bit the dust this past week after only having been installed for a few months. It was a relatively cheap digital timer from Home Depot that was 120V, 240V, 277V selectable, and when I went to leave a review for it it had already been discontinued, haha. So I...

Yes, thanks! The strap wrench worked like a wonder. I got a used motor on there which works, but now the unit is just hemorrhaging water out of it when I try to run it, so I reckon I need to replace the seals etc on the impeller unit.
