Hey, Jan. Sorry the pump's not working!

Can you remind me of the model of your pump?

The first thing for you or your bro to check is that the shaft spins freely. If it doesn't, see if you can get it to spin, the motor might be louder than usual, but should work.

Let us know if the shaft can be manually turned - I'm thinking either the bearings are shot or the start capacitor is. Also, I would listen to any advice Al has to give on this!
