Possible Causes

Blocked motor ventilation, High ambient temperature, Overloaded pump due to plumbing restrictions, Failing motor windings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Clear vents: Remove debris from the Aquaflow motor cooling fins and fan cover.
  • Improve ventilation: Ensure the pump is not enclosed in a tight box; provide airflow or shade.
  • Check for restrictions: Verify that valves are open and the filter is clean to reduce load.

If the motor continues to trip on thermal overload, it is likely failing internally and should be replaced.
