AquaFlo Overheating Motor

Pump motor is extremely hot to the touch, even after short run times.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Blocked motor ventilation, High ambient temperature, Overloaded pump due to plumbing restrictions, Incorrect voltage or wiring

Safety first: Turn off power and allow the motor to cool before touching it.

Clear vents: Remove debris from the motor cooling vents and ensure the rear fan is unobstructed.
Improve airflow: If the pump is in a small enclosure, add vents or a fan to reduce heat buildup.
Check system pressure: Read the filter pressure gauge. High pressure indicates restriction; clean the filter and open valves.
Verify wiring: Confirm that the motor is wired for the correct voltage per the nameplate and that jumpers (if any) are set correctly.
