Hayward PowerFlo pump motor fan at the rear does not spin even though the shaft turns inside.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Fan blades broken off due to impact, Fan hub loose on motor shaft, Age-related plastic brittleness, Debris entering fan shroud and damaging fan

Safety first: Turn off power and wait for the motor to cool before inspection.

Inspect fan: Remove the rear fan cover and check the condition of the plastic cooling fan on the PowerFlo motor.
Replace fan (if available): If the fan is cracked or loose, replace it with a compatible fan for the PowerFlo motor model.
Monitor temperature: Without proper cooling, the motor will overheat. If a replacement fan is not available, replacing the entire motor is recommended.
