2 speed Super pump is noisy on LOW speed

[PoolDoc]

Just gave the URL to J. Phillips @ Hayward Customer Support -- he's going to take a look.

Took apart the pump to check the components. Switches, linkages, etch looked ok. There is a spring washer between the bearing and housing that looked worn. When I put it back together, I left out the spring and pump was noisy in both speeds. When I reassembled it, the noise went away! I will get a new spring and replace it if the noise starts again. Any ideas where I can get parts for AO Smith motors?

Thanks for sending me in the right direction!

If the springs are ok, then you might only need a little lube on the governor. I am not sure if you can get the parts but you might try contacting them here:

A.O.Smith motors was bought out by Regal Beloit and they are now selling under the Century brand.

@Mark: Can you point me to schematics on the motor? Pump, no problem. But I couldn't find any schematics on the switch / wiring plate / etc.

@Hopkiba: I was disappointed in the Hayward response -- not helpful; not engaged.

@Hopkiba: one more thing -- could you take photos when you replace the spring? Thx.

I am not sure where they have this on the new web site if at all but you can download a service manual from my google drive here:

Thanks for your continuing help. So far so good, still quiet. I will go to a local motor rebuild shop to get the spring and will post pictures.
