Pump Problem

[waste]

The shaft seal assembly may be bad, if that's the case, you probably have a puddle under the middle of the pump. The seal has 2 parts, on that slides onto the impeller stem and the other which seats into the seal plate on the back of the pump housing.

Thanks for your reply. We figured out what went wrong. The pump was not clogged. It was an electrical problem caused by a dripping pipe above the electrical switch box. It was leaking into it, and down thru the electrial wires to pump!! Well, we did have to buy a new pump, but I am glad we figured out what caused the pump to burn out, or it would have happened again to new pump.
