Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.

Not a manual one. If it overheats it will shut down to cool but once it cools enough it will turn back on. Is the unit still hot? If not you'll need to inspect the motor for damage. It may be a small part such as the capacitor or the starting switch, but could also be more severe such as the winding itself. You will also want to examine the shaft where it passes thru the pump and motor and look for signs of rust from a pump seal leak.

If you are not familiar with testing these parts your best bet would be a local electric motor repair shop to see if the motor can be repaired or if it would need to be replaced. They should also be able to ensure there is no pump damage.

If this answer does not fix your problem, please comment with additional details prior to rating the answer. Positive feedback is appreciated once your problem is solved!

I have a Hayward, A.O. Smith sp-1510-z1 xe8k3, 1 hp pump. It is not turning and is getting hot and started to smoke. Is there anything I can try before I replace it?

SEPERATE THE PUMP FROM THE MOTOR AND SEE IF THE PUMP TURNS FREELY IF IT DOES THEN THE MOTOR IS BAD IF IT IS HARD TO TURN THE PUMP PLUG IN MOTOR AND SEE IT IT NOW RUNS IF IT DOES ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS REPLACE THE PUMP IF THEY SELL IT SPERATE GOOD LUCK

We have a Hayward Power-flo matrix pump SP-1510-Z1-XEHC. There is water coming out down near the end of pump near on/off switch and it kicks the pump off. We consulted a pool place they said it may be...

I WOULD SAY IT'S THE SHAFT SEAL. MAKE SURE YOU LOOK CLOSE "FLASHLIGHT TO SEE EXACTLY WERE THE WATER IS COMING FROM , THE IMPELLER MAY BE SHOT., THESE ARE A HARD PUMP TO WORK ON,. THE PARTS ARE CHEAP. BUT A REAL PAIN TO FIX, I WOULD LOOK FOR YOUR LOCAL POOL PUMP MOTOR REPAIR GUY AND BEG HIM TO FIX IT FOR YOU, IF YOU CAN FIND A NEW IMPELLER FOR IT , AROUND 15 $ AND HAD THIS IN HAND FOR HIM . I THINK YOU WOULD HAVE A BETTER CHANCE, IN GETTING IT REPAIRED. I DON'T LIKE WORKING ON THESE MYSELF., PART OF THE REASON IS THAT THE IMPELLERS BREAK ,AND THIS TAKES UP MY TIME TRYING TO HUNT DOWN PARTS.. SORRY, BUT MAKE SURE YOU LOOK CLOSE "FLASHLIGHT TO SEE EXACTLY WERE THE WATER IS COMING FROM. IF I WAS OF HELP CLICK ON THE YES.. THNKX JAY

magic lube and new o-ring. now put just a small amount on the o-ring and a little on the treads of the lid, do not over tighten ! that's the trick, the lube makes the lid over tighten,so just hand tight, take a marker and mark the lid so you know the perfect spot ever time you put it back on where to stop

My above ground pool overflowed onto the Hayward Pump and now the GFCI just Pops when the pump is plugged in. What do I have to do to the Pump. Seems water may have got in to it. Thanks Graham Payne

UNFORTUNATELY YOUR PUMP IS MOST LIKELY SORTED
IT IS POSSIBLE IT MAY DRY OUT HOWEVER UNLIKELY
STRONGLY RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE MOUNT OR HAVE EQUIPMENT MOUNTED AT LEAST 5 FT AWAY FROM POOL 1 TO 1.5 FT HIGH
MANY LOCAL POOL STORES CAN TEST YOUR MOTOR TO TELL YOU FOR CERTAIN. HOPE THIS HELPS.--CHARLIE POOL PROS

Powerflo matrix pump is humming not pumping

I think you have a start/run capacitor issue or your impeller has spun its center out. Check the impeller first. If the impeller is intact, take your motor to your full service pool professional for repair.

It is likely a motor failure. You may be able to take it to a local electric motor repair shop but most of those motors are not economical to repair. You can replace the motor and pump seal for far less than the whole pump. If you would like a quote on the parts, try us at www.arrowpools.net

Water keeps coming out from under the lid of the pump

Replace the O-ring/re-lube it, if that doesn't work the actually strainer assembly may be warped, those come undone with the clip under the basket and just pop off - they are between $80-$100.
