Definitely NOT the capacitor

[ol_whistle_britches]

It’s funny how people draw on their own experiences in decision making. I had to go back and re-read the OP to pick up on the winterized status. I paid absolutely zero attention to that fact because given where I live, I have never had to winterize a thing in my life.

I was much more concerned with something physically blocking the impellers rotation. My personal story includes a pump with a couple of palm tree seeds stuck in it. I don’t suppose OP has many palms in Dayton….

It was the switch! Got into the wiring box today. Loose wiring from quick connect use instead of side screws (I said what I said!!).
Everyone thank you for going on the journey with me lol.
Replacing the pump motor is definitely on the to do list, minus the capacitor popping, this is the first trouble I've had out of the pump! She doesnt whine or sound excessively loud when it runs. Either way, thanks again everyone
