Summer Waves Short Cycling / Protection Trip

Pump motor starts and stops repeatedly every few seconds.

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

Possible Causes

Overheating motor, Internal overload cycling, Intermittent power supply, Faulty control PCB

Safety First: Unplug the pump to prevent further stress on the motor.

Check ventilation and load: Clean vents and ensure the filter and plumbing are not restricting flow.
Stable power: Plug directly into a dedicated outlet without extension cords or power strips.
Cool-down test: After cooling for 30 minutes, restart and observe. If cycling continues, the internal overload or control board is likely faulty.
Replace assembly: Replace the motor or control head if short cycling persists.
