I just had an EcoPump EP6 installed Friday, however when it runs on it's high speed, it gets very hot and you can smell the windings heating up... Has anyone had trouble with these AO Smith motors? It runs fine and nice and cool on low speed...
My timer is a mechanical Intermatic with a SPDT switch after it for the Hi/Low. I picked up the 3-way switch from Home Depot, and it is rated for 240v/20 amps... I still have to look over all the wiring and connections etc.
My first guess would be a bad connection somewhere, bad timer (almost 20 years old-however the old pump worked just fine on it) corroded wire somewhere, or maybe the AO Smith pump is actually bad...
I still have to look everything over, but wanted to get some input on the AO Smith motors and if anyone had problems with them.
Thanks!
