The motor may be repairable. Check with local electric motor repair shops in your area. The motor may need to be replaced though and if so, we sell it at www.arrowmotor.net

Usually when a polaris booster pump hums it means 1 of 2 things; either the starting capacitor needs to be replaced (its located under the black hump on top of the motor) or the pump is bad. Most likely the starting capacitor needs to be replaces. This is where you should start since the capcitor is only $20-$30. Get a new capacitor from a local pool store, shut the power off to the motor, remove two screws on each side of black hump on top of motor, remove two wires from starting capacitor and install wires on new capacitor, replace cover and turn the pump on. If that doesn't work you will need to replace the motor.
Testimonial: "Thanks. Very helpful."

You will probably just need to replace the pool cleaners backup valve kit. Call the manufacturer or a local company who sells parts for the cleaners and find out if they have it. It will be part number G52.

If you want to fix it all yourself then you can get parts to fix a pump like that. With the symptoms you have it may be a starting capacitor.You can take apart the pump to gain access to the impeller. If the impeller rotates easily then the motor is probably ok if you replace the capacitor. If you open it up and bring the capacitor or better yet the whole motor and or pump in to an electric motor repair company in your area they should have a new capacitor to sell you or a new motor if needed. A new capacitor may cost maybe 20 to 40 dollars and a new motor may cost you 200 to 300 dollars.
If you are not wanting to turn wrenches yourselfthen my best suggestion is to bring it to Leslies Pool Supplies and they oftencan put it right for the price of the parts while you watch (they may not have a cap or motor in stock).
I hope this helps.

I would ask the manufacturer not online odd jobbers.
One of these might also be causing in to not connect to the pool surface, but for this problem, you will also want to check the cleaner head and make sure that it is not full of water. Replace if it is.
