I just installed a new Pentair 2 HP Superflo dual speed pump. When I turn on the power, the pump hums but will not turn over and hums for about 10 seconds before the thermal overload trips. With the pump off, I can freely turn the motor from the back, but with power applied I can not turn it in either direction. I have filled the strainer basket with water.. I have tried tapping the motor housing with power applied, and I have verified there are 2 leads both with 115 VAC applied. I can't find any info on whether this pump has a start capacitor, but I believe the run capacitor is located on top.
Please help with troubleshooting. Kind of frustrating since this is a brand new pump.
Thank You.
