I changed the start capacitor and the thermal overload switch. The pump is not frozen and the 2nd pumps operates connected to the wiring of the 1st pump. I am stumped since I know it has to be the pump but I can't figure out what it could be.Any suggestions other than a new pump?

See if there is another part number for that breaker (CET51 ABM).

if it has been sitting since last year, some rust could have kept the shaft from turning. Get some pump pliers and try to rock the shaft. after you get it freed up, turn it back on.

When hooking up capacitor on a pump it doesnt really matter which way the wires go. The capacitor is set up in such a way the it supplys power wherever the wires are hooked up. I hope this helps

Sounds like its frozen and causing a very heavy load on your circuit. If the motor gets hot within seconds, its shot and needs replacing. Have you attempted to turn the motor over by hand ?

The motor-start capacitor is bad. This is a very common problem. It can be easily and cheaply fixed by replacing the capacitor. Replacements are usually less than $10.
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEIv5ClLqXg for a step=by=step guide.
When you have the capacitor in hand, check the model# which is printed on it. Alternatively, you can Google the motor brand & model to find the parts list which will identify the right one. Then Google the part number, to find a seller.
