Hi all - first time posting and first time pool owner as of this past fall. I had my pool pump motor running 24/7 for the last few weeks (it's not on a timer and I had some algae issues to start season and just never shut it off much). Thursday night while trying to turn on the in-pool light, I turned off the pool pump and now it won't turn on. Won't even make a sound.
I tested voltage on the breaker and the wires coming into the back of the pool pump and they're getting the right power (120V). I even replaced the motor start capacitor this afternoon when it came in from Amazon and that didn't change anything either - still no sound at all when I turn on the breaker. I'm guessing there's another switch or capacitor that might be blown or shorted.
For context I'm in southwest Ohio and it was over 90-95F all week this past week in case that affects things. I'm attaching some pictures of the panel, back of motor, and the label on the pool pump.
What else can I try before I wind up buying a new motor?
