I would try a couple of turns of Teflon tape on the threads to create a better seal. Thank you Thats all I can think of now. Good day everyone. Have you checked the cells voltage, amperage, or done anything other troubleshooting? Check for water under the display, or in the control box area. Changed lid gasket and plugs in basket still same issue. Hi Frank, so it ran for weeks or more on 115V, when set to accept 230V, and then it started overheating, and then ran great for about a month, but now it makes no noise at all. They dont typically make noise for long either, because at 3400 RPM, if the impeller is hitting something, it will quickly wear it down. I just replaced the flow switch and that solved one problem, but now Im only able to produce chlorine when the system is on Super Chlorinate. Hi Kevin, I think I would check the capacitor(s), maybe replace them if they test weak, or look cracked or damaged. but the digital display panel wont light up, does the propane need to be connected and turned on to make the display panel work?? The new pump was very quiet yesterday when I installed it, but this morning, I notice there is a slight medium pitch hum in the system. What should I do? For plug-in pumps, be sure the TEST button is not tripped on GFCI outlets, and that the cord is not damaged. Third, could be clogging in the filter, or bad filter sand, if you have a sand filter.

The shaft is accessed in the rear of the motor, behind the centrifugal switch. Any thoughts? Hi, my Hayward pump is about 5 years old. I bought same pump and electrician put on old twist lock cord from previous pump. It leaks from the impeler case and is noisey, so assy B is no replacement. When I try to turn the pump back on, it only hums. It was probably spouting water several feet in the air, which soaked the motor, and popped a breaker? See page 40/41 in this Hayward Troubleshooting guide. We have cleaned it 3-5 times a day and changed the d.e as well. You say the pump is connected AFTER the filter?
