Hayward Max-flo 1hp overheating.

Hi,

I've been running my pump almost 24/7 over the last few weeks (lots of use, higher temperatures).
On Sunday, I noticed a slight burning smell and realized that the pump was really hot. I turned it off overnight and restarted it again the next day.
After about 30 minutes, it gets hot again and the burning smell comes back.

I noticed that the sticker on top (that has all the pump details) was melting. Not sure if the smell is from the sticker our from other parts.

FYI, the pump stays on and hasn't auto shut-off because of the temperatures. Any ideas what it could be?

Thanks.

What pump and motor? Post pics of the pump and the motor data plate.

How old is the pump?

What speed you running the pump?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
It is: https://hayward-pool-assets.com/assets/documents/pools/pdf/manuals/MaxFlo-IS2800X5.pdf?fromCDN=true
Contrary to my signature, it's a single speed pump. The pump should be about 10 years old (already there when I moved in 3 years ago).

Model#: SP2807X10W
Serial#: 21211504260238013

Thanks.
