Troubleshooting Tips: If your pump motor hums but won't start, a failing start capacitor may be the culprit. Test by manually rotating the rear shaft or switching to high speed momentarily. If the motor runs afterward on low speed, the capacitor likely needs replacement.
Important Notice: A faulty capacitor is often a symptom of a larger motor issue rather than the root cause. While replacement may provide temporary relief (days to weeks), recurring failures suggest deeper motor problems requiring professional evaluation.
Match your replacement capacitor by comparing the stamped numbers and physical dimensions on your existing component.
