My Pentair Warrior SI has finally succumbed to the issues many others have reported (purchased April 2020 from Marina Pools, but certainly not their fault).
Earlier this year was having issues with Wall-E not going to the shallow end. Upon @JoyfulNoise suggestion I broke him down to the propeller and sure enough it was wrapped in dog hair. Removed. Reassembled. Worked great for about a month.
Last week it started doing this thing where it would go forward about 12”, backward about 12”, then stop. Tore it down. Impeller had nothing on or around it. However, the impeller was very resistant to spin with a push from my finger.
Still not willing to dish out $600 for a new motor assembly, I took to YouTube and found this
Could it be this simple?
A bearing that cost $1 and a $25 tool (that I might be able to borrow from a parts store)?
Stay tuned folks - IM GOING IN!
