the pump refused to turn on after some recent electrical issues at main power. Replasced the breaker, the GFI Outlet it plugs into and enything else i could find. Still wont turn on. The only 'connector' going to the pump oither than the 120v line is an RJ11 wire that goes to the off/on switch. I dont know what the wirinfg diagram is so have no way to test the switch. Is there any way to bypass it with a normal off/on power switch? if so, how would i connect that to the motore using an rj11 wire?
Thanks for any help

Unless I remove the old pump I cant send much in the way of pics. As installed, the labels Ican see do not show any part numbers. I removed the off/on switch and was able to determine it is probably one of the old 73533-aa kpohler pumps. But not sure. It did not use an air switch, had two speeds and was controlled by this one small off/on button. The button had a tiny rj11 looks like phone jack that connected it to the switch box on bottom of pump. The PUMP might even be ok and the problems all are inside the switch that was controlled by that button. Agasin, no way to be sure until i remove it from tub and the "access" is extremely limited.
