Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This is a potential shock hazard. Turn off power at the main breaker and do not attempt to run the pump until the fault is resolved.
Steps to check:
- Inspect for moisture: Open the motor junction box and control housing. Look for water, condensation, or corrosion.
- Dry components: If moisture is present, dry thoroughly and correct the source of water ingress (damaged conduit, missing grommets, failed gasket).
- Insulation test (pro only): A qualified technician should perform a megohm test on the motor windings to ground.
- Check GFCI: Ensure the upstream GFCI device is functioning properly and not nuisance-tripping.
If E14 persists and insulation resistance is low, the motor assembly should be replaced. Do not bypass ground fault protection.
