Hi everyone,
I have a 3 year old pool and spa controlled by Haywards Omnilogic panel. The spa has a 240v, 1.5HP, Jandy blower connected to 20-amp GFCI breaker. A few months ago, the blower started acting up - it would run for a few seconds and shut down. I replaced the blower, but it also stopped after about 30 seconds. Did a ton of rouble shooting (water in the line, obstructions, air holes in the pipe, thermal limiter switch etc). I then replaced the breaker (Sqaure D 20-amp dual pole, GFCI). Not a cheap replacement. That worked fine for about 3-4 weeks and now the same issue has returned. The breaker doesn't trip, the blower motor just stops spinning.
Does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing it? Would a 30 amp GFCI breaker help? My neighbor suggested using a non-GFCI breaker, any thoughts on that?
Thank you.
