Possible Causes

Incorrect phase wiring at Franklin Electric motor terminals, Swapped phases at supply, Loose motor lead connection, Internal motor winding fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off and lock out power before changing any phase connections.

  • Verify wiring diagram: Compare motor terminal connections to the Franklin Electric wiring diagram for your voltage and configuration (delta/star).
  • Check tightness: Tighten all motor terminal screws and inspect for burned lugs or insulation.
  • Correct phase sequence: If the pump runs backward or E19 appears, swap any two phases at the motor or drive output to correct rotation.
  • Test motor: If correct wiring still results in E19, test motor windings for balance and continuity. Replace the motor if windings are out of spec.
