Waterway PD-140 Overcurrent Error Code

[theninjachachi]

Hi! Earlier this week I noticed my pump wasn’t running. (I have a a Waterway PD-140). I went over to check it out and it was showing an error with a red light saying “Overcurrent (HW) Error Code <E0>”. I tried resetting and restarting it and when I try to turn the pump on nothing really happens and it keeps giving me that error. I contacted one local pool repair company and all they said they could do is replace the pump.

Does anyone have any other opinions?
