Have you inspected the impeller and diffuser? Any obstruction would cause the motor to overheat and trip the thermal sensor. Also, I don't think you ever answered my other question about pump noise. Is is screeching or whining?

I did check it for obstruction and there wasn't anything, I am not sure about diffuser but I will check it. The pump is really quiet. No screeching or whining.

@Pappy: pumps wired 120v but fed 240v can die fairly spectacularly . . . but they don't run for awhile and then shut off. I'm not sure I've seen a pump wired 240v and fed 120v, but I'm guessing it would just hum till it overheated.
