Hayward pump - SP3220X252 (2 speeds)
My pumps stopped working two days ago. When I first checked what’s going on, I saw the breaker was off. I turned it on and start the pump, but just a humming noise happened for a few seconds before the breaker tripped again. I tried doing the same a couple of times and in one of the tries it started working on high.
I tried turning it on again today and couldn’t get it to work on high, but it’s working on the low speed.
The video shows the noise it makes on high and then when switched to low.
Not sure if it’s just the capacitor or something else. Thanks
