Pool Pump Turns Off By Itself

From www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pag... this video talks about a common situation where a pool pump is found to be off when it is supposed to be running. You will inspect the breaker panel to see if the breaker has tripped, and you will try to reset the breaker by turning it off and then back on again. If it trips right away this indicates an electrical fault or failure and your next step should be to contact a local electrician. If the pump breaker resets without tripping, inspect the pump and try to run it to see if it works. If it still does not work, again an electrician is needed to trace the power supply to see if it is reaching the pump as it should, or if there is a problem external to the pump. If the pump does indeed restart now, be sure to come back out and check on the pump again in a short while to see if it has stopped running again.

My Hayward pump in my new pool would do that once in a while, turn off after about 30 seconds, I reset the breakers and it would fix it for a few weeks then it would start doing it again, I called the pool company up and they sent a Hayward repair man and he replaced the circuit board in the pump and that fixed it. It was under warranty so that was good.

Keypads in pool motors, scary & subject to costly repairs/replacement!

Hey Steve, my Pentair pump won’t turn on after flipping the breaker. When I hit start, all of the green lights flash on but it won’t fire up. If you have any recommendations please let me know

Most common in decent (single speed) pumps would be overheating due to a bad capacitor, blocked air vents or cooling fan issue. Touch the motor when it has turned itself off, if it’s blazing hot…☝🏼

I check the breaker, check the control panel and my pump is still not turning on. I sprayed the anti freeze coil with air and it starts up. But when the coil unfreezes, the pump shuts off

I built my concrete pool in 1969. I maintain it by myself I have two HAyward pumps, òne for the filter and one for the heater. Would I be better off if either of them were variable speed pump? I didn,t know they existed until last week.
