How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately turn off power at the breaker. Do not attempt to restart a smoking motor.
- Allow to cool: Let the AquaJet motor cool completely before inspection.
- Inspect for damage: Look for melted insulation, burned terminals, or discoloration on the motor and control board.
- Do not reuse: A motor that has smoked has likely suffered irreversible damage. Replace the motor assembly and inspect the control board for collateral damage.
- Correct underlying issues: Before installing a new motor, ensure the pump is not overloaded by system restrictions or incorrect impeller sizing.
