Hello all,
I have had an intelliflo VSF 3hp for 4 years with no issues, and today I noticed the pump never started. Sure enough the breaker had tripped. Upon resetting, the keypad display turned on, and immediately tripped upon starting the priming phase. It tripped so quickly I never heard it begin to spin up. I revoved the motor from the pump housing and the impeller is clear and spins freely. When I power the unit and visualize the impeller it barely attempts to spin before the breaker is tripped. I switched the breaker with an identical one (20 amp GFCI) that runs my blower and that one tripped as well. The pump is bonded and all wiring is free of moisture and damage. I removed the control unit from the top of the unit and all connections in there look new. Does this indicate a shorted motor? I read somewhere else that it could be a bad capacitor but I dont even see one on the unit. Of course this would happen the right before the 4th
Thanks in advance
