Hello!
I noticed my pump was running louder than i expected the other day during my low speed cycle, and after investigating i noticed it was running at 3150 rpm and the event log mentioned a Drive Overload on last power cycle. The pump is relay controlled from my aqualogic board so adjusting the speed on the pump itself did not have any effect. It has been happening for a few days now / and persisted through a few power cycles.
The manual specifies: Indicates the motor current is too high. Check impeller, diffuser, shaft seal, and motor for issues. Motor connections to drive should be verified.
So far I've removed the basket and stuck a plastic stir stick into the impeller (after shutting off power to the panel!) to check for obstructions and pulled out only a few pine needles. I proceeded to disassemble and clean my filter cartridges and reassembled.
There are no signs of leaking on or around the pump itself, but I'm not quite sure how else to check the impeller, diffuser, shaft seal and motor for issues. The pump is operating at what appears to be normal flow rates and capacities, it just won't go into low speed mode.
