I have tried to start my hot tub after a year of not using it. The motor runs then stops after 5/6 seconds. I have taken it apart and one of the bearings is seized. USing pliers etc i managed to get it turning but plugged it in again and the result was the same, runs briefly then trips out.
The model is a century pool and spa motor a.o.smith. HP 1.5 220-240v. The problem I am having is that I can't get this motor in the uk. Can anyone help at all with what on earth I can replace it with. It is single speed and the connector is 2x2 inches. Il try post a picture if I can.
Any help would be massively appreciated as I have no idea what to do!
Many thanks
