dbrown18 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 I recently had my Hayward Northstar pump in to repair a link. The tech connected the electrical to spin the shaft and sand it. He then replaced the Shaft Seal Assembly and reassembled everything. When he went to test it he connected the 220 volts to the brown and white wires instead of the 2 connections that are inbetween the 2 wires. He said that would not be a problem but could not get the motor to run on 220 and said his pigtail must be bad. Now I have pump home and it will not work on 220. It did worked plugged into110 volts. Is there a fuse or internal circuit breaker that poped when it was wired incorrectly? Thanks Quote
Pool Clown Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 I would bring it back to the Tech??? and ask him to make the motor work like it did before he connected the power wrong... You should have told him you will wait while he fixed his pig tail. Then you should have not left his shop till your motor was running. Since you left his shop, he may try to tell you that YOU hooked it up wrong at home, and that is why it wont work. Good Luck. Quote
