Ok, so I did a lot of research before and found that it's most likely the capacitor. So I ordered one of those after researching the correct one I would need, replaced it and my pump is still humming and then after about 5 seconds it trips the breaker. I replaced the wiring on the capacitor in what I thought was the same connectors on the new capacitor. Would the new capacitor not work if I didn't have it wired correctly?
Another thing, we leave our pump on all day while we are at work. When I first noticed the pump not working was when I came home from work. Could this even be a bad capacitor if it turned off during they day when the pump had already been running for a while?
I also tried sticking a a metal clothes hanger with a little hook on the end in to the impeller opening to see if there was any debris and I wasn't pulling anything out.
Is there anything else I can do before I have to order a new motor? My pool is getting a lot of algae so I would like to get this thing working as soon as possible.
The pump is a Hayward 1hp Superpump model # C48K2N143B1
If I need a new motor, can someone help me out with which one I need?
Thanks!!
