Correct replacement motor?

[SorryImaNewb123]

Hello,

I got the following motor for my hot tub which recently failed after a power outage in our area. Not sure how old it is?



I am looking to purchase a replacement pump, but just not 100% which is the correct one that would be compatible/easiest to replace with. I added the Part # into google and the suggested replacement was this...
Magnetek Century 1.0 HP Square Flange 56Y Up Rate Motor - B2853 - INYOPools.com. It looks similar enough, but since this isn't something I've done, I wonder if anyone can offer some insight if this should work ok.

Here's a pic of this pump and the label as well...

Looks like your original pump is a 2 speed pump. If so, then you need to replace it with a 2 speed pump and the prospective replacement you posted is a single speed pump.

Base your replacement pump off of the amp draw.

Good to know. Thanks for that knowledge!

Hard motor to find apparently. This one should work for you. US Motors (Nidec), AGL15FL2CS, 1.5/.125 HP, 3450RPM, 1PH, 115V, 48Y Frame, Pool and Spa.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

Do you know if the wires should hook up the same way to the electrical as the one that died? I took various pics with my phone so I know what plugged where.

Most motors connect similarly. However, I can't say without looking at the wiring diagrams for both. Having pictures is a benefit.
