Hey everyone spent some time reading through some old threads here but still no luck. I turned off this pump this morning to backwash the filter and now it will not start up. The model # is SP56152ET dual speed pump. I have double checked the receptacle and it is all fine and delivering the 120V. The pump timer beeps as I turn it on and off but the pump will not start. I am reading I should possibly change the start capacitor but for the life of me can't find it. I have removed the back housing to all the electrical components and there is no capacitor in there. I also dont see any humps on the motor where the capacitor could be hidden.
Is it possible to bypass the timer switch? I can easily spin the impellor so I know it is not jammed.
Any help would be appreciated. I know at time the pump would humm but I would restart it and it would be fine but it hasnt done that in the past 2 months.
Thanks for the help.

I have one of those motors and they are considered split-phase motors. This design has a start winding and a start switch, but no capacitors. Basically means once it goes bad, it's probably bad. Not worth teh effort to repair.
