This is a single stage pump motor that is about 5 yrs old.
I've noticed recently the timer turns the motor on and the motor hums and after about 5-10 secs it starts pumping water.
This am, I happened to be out by pool when the motor turned on. It hummed and after 10 secs or so, it tripped the breaker.
I reset breaker and turned it back on, this time it hummed a few secs, maybe 5, then started.
The motor was replaced about 5 yrs ago but the pump is original and 11 1/2 yrs old.
Any ideas as to what is going on?
Thanks,jrd.
