Hi -
I replaced my motor on my p6ea6g-207l pool pump ~2 years ago. Yesterday I noticed that it would not start it just hummed and then stopped so I took the capacitor our and it look good. I then took the back cover off and spun the motor freely. After that it has run with no issues and started right up. Today after running all day it shut off but I wanted to keep it running for a while longer as I just cleaned the filter it did the same thing. Yesterday and today I tried to restart after it had been running for several hours. Just hummed for a second and stopped. I had a spare capacitor from a previous pump and swapped it but it did the same. I then spun the motor again and it started right up. Any ideas why it would do this? Could it be some sort of thermal protection that it has been running all day going bad? Any suggestions as this motor is only a few years old.
Thanks
Philip
