Our Hayward pump has randomly turned off due to the breaker tripping. We currently have a leak from the effluent on the pump and will be replacing the influent and effluent pvc fittings with cmp. In the meantime, I have had several suggestions on the breaker. One is to replace the capacitor. Another recommended a thermal protection on the motor may be malfunctioning and causing the breaker to trip. The recommendation was to replace the entire motor because the replacement device is half the price of the motor itself. Any other reasons that the breaker may trip? It is very random and has been working fine for the past 2 weeks. I'm just now sure how to troubleshoot it before spending money replacing parts that may or may not need replacing.
Thanks!
Thanks!
