Have a Jandy Stealth pump. In the morning the pump does not prime. I have to remove, replace lid and then turn it on it works as it should.

check to see if pump lid seal is ok and check to see if intake unions are tight make sure water is in the pump basket

it kicks out breaker try turning the motor shaft if still doesnt work need new motor

This sounds like the motor has seized up. You will most likely need to replace at least the motor and maybe the complete pump assembly.
You can take the pump into a local motor shop and see if they can rebuild the motor for you.

there is a suction leak, cold be lid o-ring, crack in lid or basket, the fittings.. use electrical tape and do each fitting one at a time, watch for the bubbles to stop in the hair basket jandy valves are sucking air, get rebuild kits for your valves on the suction side.. but the first thig i check is the impeller and shaft seal.. prime the pump after any repair !!! .. here is how to remove your pump ..

This is indictive of a clogged impeller or blown shaft seal or possibly both.
To clean out the impeller, simply removing the 8 securing bolt that hold the wet end against the seal plate and motor housing. Then remove the diffuser assembley. You should now have access to the impeller. Remove any debris from inside the impeller and impeller cage.
Reassemble , fill with water, and try to reprime.
If prime still fails, take apart again and remove impeller to replace the shaft seal.
Note:
1. Make sure the filter connected to this pump is clean and not causing the problem before following these instructions.
2. Here is the link to the exploded parts diagram for easy reference to part names. It is also good to look at previous to dissassembley so that you have a good understanding of what is where.

Start/run capacitor may be faulty ...

Hi .. If ypou are gtetting air in the basket, then ytou have a leak somewhere in the system. start by closing off the skimmer, bottom, cleaner one at a time and see when the air stops gettingt in. Is there enough water level to cover the skimmer? have you checked the seal on the strainer at the pump? you might be able top hear hissing if it is at the pump.

fill pump basket with water put top on and turn pump on

ONE OF THE CAPACITOR MAY BE BAD CHANGE THEM BEFORE MOTOR REPLACEMENT .CHECK IMPELLER FOR ANY DEBRIES BLOCKING

make sure pool is full of water
check skimmer weir doors and make sure not stuck in up position
fill pump basket with water and try to prime

if that doesn't work

replace diffuser oring
