  • Hi All. This video shows you the steps to follow if you have a pool pump that is only humming and does not want to turn or pump water. Most of the time this is an easy fix.

    This absolutely worked it was the fan which was not moving. Removed the cover and spun the fan and removed anything that was there and it worked perfectly. Had not used my motor for over 2 months.

    Very clear concise video about fixing pump impeller, replacing Condensor or having pump motor rewound where burnt out. Thank you for your insights you certainly know your onions so to speak now I'm off to fix my DAB Boar Water Pump.

    Thank you for putting this together it's really kind of you. I had same problem thought it was the capacitor so swapped it out and it wasn't fixed. It was seized up. Few squirts of wd40 and it was good again!

    I have a question. The motor hums, but the fan is not spinning freely like yours, I can rotate it but it requires a bit of effort to do so but it can spin 360 degrees, so it is not locked up. I tried your trick by manually trying to spin the motor while it's buzzing, but it does not make the pump switch on.
    1) Would a new capacitor make any difference in this case?
    2) Is a humming motor necessarily a sign that the motor should work in contrast to a motor that makes no sound at all, and that there is another issue on the pump housing that could keep it from running?
    Great informative video, by the way. Bedankt. From Belgium.

    I must say thanks .. couldn't find a solution for a long time. Other videos are just "experts" who dont know anything.
    I helped the motor with my hand and it works... but sometimes it doesn't need help and just works.
    Do you recommend trying to oil with wd40 before replacing capacitor? If so where exactly to oil?
    Also when the pump working 24/7 it stops and make this humming sound. What your diagnosis to the above? 🙏

    • @p0we111
      @p0we111  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi. I'd definitely try and oil first. With the motor stopping while operating,I'd check the bearings as well. Next time it stops,feel if the motor turns freely and has no play on the shaft,up and down.
      If a bearing heats up it can have a lot of friction that could stop a motor.
      Always better to check all possibilities before paying for replacement parts!

    After you’ve done repair do you usually test if the device is safe to plug in the wall socket and how is that done

    • @p0we111
      @p0we111  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Ashraf the best way to test is to use an IRT (Insulation Resistance Tester) to see if there is a short from Live to earth or Neutral to earth. Without a IRT you can use a multimeter on Ohms setting to test any leakage to earth, but that is not always reliable.
      Other than that you can plug it in. If the wires and breakers are correct then it should just trip in case of an error.

  • @blackmass1082

    what do you think is the problem when the pump suddenly stops after 2 - 3 minutes? and starts again in about 5 minutes on its own?

    • @p0we111
      @p0we111  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hi. It may be a thermal switch tripping when the motor gets too hot and starting when it cools down.
      Feel how hot the motor is to the touch. Maybe it does not turn freely....

    My motor runs but its not pumping up water. Iv tried to attach the hose to it to prime it, but still not pumping water . My pump is for boar hole to water the garden.

    • @p0we111
      @p0we111  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hi Sandyseale. Difficult to say,but Ive seen some borehole pumps that strip the coupling between the motor and pump fitting. Then the motor turns but no water is pumped.
      It can also just be the pump side that is damaged internally.
      If you are sure the motor has enough water to prime it,then you would have to inspect the pump side. Unfortunately that is the only part left if the motor is running

      Hi Hardus. 9 times out of 10 it is something hitting the fan. Grass growing in or the cover that has been pushed in too far. Some have screws that has to be taken out in order to inspect,others just pop of with enough force.

    • @p0we111
      @p0we111  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi. If you changed the capacitor and it still does not start it is probably one of the coils that has been burnt through. Make sure there are no loose wires inside the connection box. You can also open the motor up and check for a loose wires on the coils.
      If you opened the motor and see some of the coils are a darker color than the others,that can be you're faulty coil. It will have to be recoiled/rewired.
