Jandy Pump trouble - 10,000 ft view

[Bood]

Hello all,
I just was told by my pool guy that my pump was not working. It has
apparently flipped the circuit breaker and will not stay on.
Before I call my installer, can anyone give me some ideas about what
this might mean? No, I do not have the exact specs as I am a snowbird
and not there.
I am simply hoping that someone has heard of or seen this, and can tell
me what it might mean.

Thanks,

Bood

The winding could be gone, the bearings shot, motor overheated, the list can go on and on... it is also a VS pump, they are VERY sensitive to lightning and surges.. Do you have a surge protector on the electric panel or a whole home surge protector.. They are worth there weight in gold..

The system is only 4 years old... my understanding is that there is a surge protector, but not 100% sure.

3 to 5 years is when the seals should be replaced, has there been any water or wetness under the pump?

Unfortunately, unlike most people here, I do not maintain my own system. I rely on my pool tech, and ultimately my installer (I have a call in)....
