How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and allow the motor to cool before touching it.
- Improve ventilation: Ensure the AstralPool pump is not enclosed in a tight box. Provide shade and airflow around the motor.
- Clean vents: Brush or vacuum dust and debris from the motor housing and fan cover.
- Reduce system load: Backwash or clean the filter, open any partially closed valves, and verify that the pump is correctly sized for the system.
If the motor continues to overheat quickly, internal winding damage is likely and the motor should be tested and replaced if necessary.
