Possible Causes

Shorted stator windings, Water ingress into motor housing, Damaged power cord or internal wiring, Failed insulation on motor terminals

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately unplug the pump. Do not reset breakers repeatedly. Do not operate the pump if you smell burning or see smoke.

Inspection steps:

  • 1. External cable check: Inspect the Flowclear power cord for cuts, crushed sections, or exposed copper. Replace the cord set if damaged.
  • 2. Motor housing inspection: Check for signs of water inside the motor end bell or condensation. If the motor has been submerged or shows rust and water marks, it is unsafe to reuse.
  • 3. Terminal check: Remove the rear cover and inspect the motor terminal block for burnt connectors or melted plastic.
  • 4. Do not attempt internal rewinding: Flowclear pump motors are not designed for field rewinding. If windings are shorted, the complete motor assembly should be replaced.
  • 5. Professional help: Because this is a high-voltage fault, contact a qualified service technician or Flowclear support for motor replacement and insulation testing.
