My pool was at first pumping, but making a humming sound sometimes. My pool repair woman was convinced it was the capacitor so she changed it. It kept doing the same thing, then stopped pumping altogether. Just would hum like it was trying to kick on. So she changed the impeller thinking it looked a little misshapen. It still won't work. She said when she runs it while it's taken apart it runs and the shaft moves. But when she puts it together it won't run and the shaft won't move. She said it seems like something is sticking, but doesn't see anything. She doesn't think it could be the bearing because then it wouldn't work when apart. Any ideas? She's suggesting a whole new pump--which is pricey.
