Pool motor will not turn on

Probably the capacitor is bad.
It can be replaced.
Do not let motor hum, because motor is getting hot and will burn up pretty quick, or trip the reset.
Call pool company.

Shorted motor windings, can you move the turbine when turned on or does it feel like it is being held in place. WARNING!!! do not try with your hand, use a tool. Possible capacitor, but I would suspect motor to turn slowly.

3 THINGS QUICK.. RUN CAPACITOR THIS IS LOCATED ON TOP OF MOTOR HAVE IT CHECKED. OR START SWITCH DIRTY OR STAR CAPACITOR BAD.. SEARCH YOUR AREA FOR YOUR LOCAL POOL PUMP MOTOR REPAIR GUY WITH FREE TESTING.. WARNING THESE CAPACITORS HOLD HIGH VOLTAGE AND WILL NEED TO BE SHORTED ! USE A DRY RAG AND COVER CAPACITOR THEN SHORT WITH SCREWDRIVER

Remove the 4 fasteners that hold the pump head onto the motor and try to turn the motor shaft by hand. If it turns freely, apply power and see what happens. If it turns Ok, then your problem is the pump head not the motor. If the motor does not turn by hand then it needs to be replaced. If it turns by hand but not when power is applied, you may get away with replacing the bearing in it.

MOTOR SHOWN IN PICTURE HAS A RUN CAP.IT HAS NO START CAP(ONLY 2 SPEED DO) WIRES AND TERMINALS MUST BE CLEAN , USE SAND PAPER AND CLEAN THEM UP. LOOK AT THE WIRES IN THE BACK OF THE MOTOR ALSO. USE A VOLT METER TO CHECK FOR POWER SEARCH YOUR ZIP CODE FOR YOUR LOCAL POOL PUMP MOTOR REPAIR GUY WITH FREE TESTING. BRING THE CAP IN FOR TESTING.. GOOD LUCK

check for a re-set button somewhere on the motor housing.

hi i had the same problem with my booster pump motor it hum but did not turn. to make a long story short see if there is a metal cap on the back of your motor if there is pry it off and you should get to see the shaft turn the shaft with a screwdriver if it has a notch in it or if it don't turn the shaft anyway you can and make sure it turns easy. my shaft was tight as hell but i got it to turn and it started right up again and i had no problem. the hum means it is stuck and it shuts off because the breaker is tripping and after a few seconds it will click back on again, hope this helps
