    Default Re: Pump Doesn't Pump....Just Hums

    Can't seem to reach the impeller...just the diffuser. Before I try to open it, the owner's manual said that if the motor hums but does not run, then look for these 2 things:

    1. Governor is stuck in open position
    2. Open Capacitor

    I don't know what either of those mean. Do you guys know what those mean and how I can check them?

    Thx!
