As I have been doing everyday this summer, yesterday afternoon I turned on the pump switch from the box. There was a slight sparking sound (like zzzzzzz ), pump ran for a second and then all quiet. I turned the switch on and off a few times to check but nothing happened. This Hayward self-priming super pump (model# C48K2N143B1, 1HP) is approximately 15 years old. We have been using it for last 3 years with out any problems, that's when we moved in to this house.
So far I have done the following:
1. Checked the breakers in the box at the pool. Turned them on and off, they appears to be working.
2. Checked the pool breaker on the house electrical panel. No tripping there and looks all right.
3. Have tested the power at the pool box with my tester. Power is coming to the box. This perhaps means something wrong from the pool box to pump?
4. Have visually inspected the pump. No burning smell or smoke signs.
5. No burning smell at the pool box.
I need help in determining where exactly the problem exist.
Many thanks is advance.
