Re: Hayward pump runing hot
OUCH!!!.
When you get the new one you should take the old one apart, at least for curiosity. If you had a shorted turn or turns in the winding it would probably smoke so it's probably just blocked air flow like you found. I don't know what those insects are but there is a type that builds mud things in which they lay their eggs. I find them all around here, the latest this afternoon in a couple nooks and crannys of my deck swing. Found them in outlet boxes and even the ground hole on outlet strips. Wonder if they found the air passages and built a nursery. I'll bet it is serviceable. I'd take out the rotor which would come out with the fan and bearings and use a garden hose to flush the crud out of the stator housing. Water won't hurt anything if you don't leave it soaking for hours. After it's washed out put it in an oven to warm it up for several hours to evaporate any residual moisture before reassembling. That's what I would try.
