pump hums

[jhm]

it was a simple fix of just spinning the impeller and i have had no problems since...

I've got the hum on one of my pumps too. I tried spinning the impeller and it won't spin at all. Is this a sign that the pump motor is dead?

Try what Al has said in the past by hitting the pump motor with a 2x4. Not hard, but hard enough to give the contacts a bump that can get them to start. If that doesn't do it, you may need a new capacitor for the motor. The pool stores get about $25 for these, but you get get them at Grainger for about $5.

Good luck.

If you have tried this make sure you struck the pump long ways closer to the back part of the motor with the 2x4 not just in the center of the pump.
