I bypassed the controller for hi-speed and got the same motor response (loud buzz with no start). I measured 240V across L1 and L2. I then did the same for the low speed (but 240V across A and L2.) So I believe the problem is the motor. BTW, the Intermatic support tech was very quick and helpful as I asked him questions via email. (Century Regal Rexnord will not respond to end residential user. They say contact the vendor. But vendor has no tech support.) I'm stumped so I am awaiting a local pool tech in case he or she has a magic bullet. In the mean time I'm circulating with a 1/4HP sump pump in the deep end with a hose discharging in the spa and retuning water through the spa overflow. Good flow rate. So no filtering but at least I got circulation. I can't imagine motor fail at just two years. And I tested old and new capacitors and all test to spec. Centrifugal switch and governor are good. I can get a new Century motor for $500 but this short life is not a good sign. Recommend a more reliable motor manufacturer?
I will update as I learn more. Thanks for you help.
