Pump Problems!

I plan on breaking it open again tonight....I knew I would have to, but obviously didn't want to. It shouldn't be as hard this time since I know how it goes back together.

There are no brushes on these motors. Brushes are used on DC or AC/DC motors like those for vacuum cleaners, shop vacs, blenders, electric drills, etc. The pump motor does however have a centrifugal switch for the starting winding. Switch opens when up to speed. Since this motor isn't making any noise or hum at all, sounds like a completely open circuit. Could be the thermal breaker opened and won't close again or a wire blew open somewhere. When you have the motor off, try running it without the pump stuff attached. See if it makes any noise at all. You can also do a continuity check of the breaker, windings, switch, if you have an ohm meter. Wish I could offer more advice.

I went ahead and bought a new one because I know this one is at least 5 years old. Probably closer to 8 when looking at some of the paperwork left by the previous owners of the house. It does make a humming noise after removing it from the piping, but it doesn't spin the shaft at all. I'd like to use convert it to a pump to remove water from my pool.....I have everything I need, except for the damn thing to run. Any advice??????
