I have a 2 years old Hayward Ecostar failed to start. Just vibrate and making clicking noise for 1 second, and trying to prime, Then got the Drive error message.

Seems to me there is something stuck and block the motor to turn, however when I used my finger to turn the pump, it turned freely.

Lately the pump has been working hard at full speed because I just bought the Hayward Navigator robot pool cleaner, and once I plugged it to skimmers, the pump had been working so hard.

I don;t think the motor burned. Maybe just the Thermistor? Can someone help me, and If you have the diagram, it would be helpful. thanks

So far, I'm not impressed with the reliability of VS drives like the Ecostar.

The Hayward page is here:

and the manual is here:

Good luck.
