I just finished replacing my WOW pump which did the same thing, only hummed. When I took apart the old assembly, I noticed that the capacitor was swollen and cracked which may have been the only part to replace, but also the turbo fins were difficult to turn as well on the old unit. I found a replacement at the best deal from PoolandSpaStuff.com. About half the price of WOW and exact specs. Hope this helps.
Is there a point where you can lubricate the motor on a regular basis so that it will not stick? Hate to think that I have to use a screw driver to turn the motor everytime I want it to work.
Open the access panel and see if the motor is working or just trying to work. Sounds like it may need lubrication.
