Does anyone have any experience working with pump motors?
I’ve been having an issue with my pump where it overheats after ~5 minutes of spinning. The fan is doing its job to keep the outside cool but it is still shutting off. I’m thinking there is some kind of malfunction in the shut-off circuit and that’s what I’m curious about - how does the pump know to shut off when it gets too hot? Has anyone here ever disassembled pump motor before? How might I be able to troubleshoot this issue further?
If correcting the issue is simply a matter of replacing a circuit component, I’d much rather do that than spend a bundle on a new pump. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
