Can you turn the motor by hand? If it’s free, it could be the start cap but I’ll bet it isn’t. I’ll be the motor is froze up. If you talk to anybody in the pool and spa world these motors run in a truly caustic situation with chlorine and if the motor has sat for any amount of time it’s froze.

I’m glad I found this thread. I’m mostly replying to be able to track this easily. I had to unhook my 140 to do a house remodel. Just got back to reinstalling and it sounds like the pump is frozen because the lights come on but the motor just hums then kicks the breaker.

So could it be the control panel? Ours control had to be replaced because it was cycling all the time. Fixed that prob but I had to disconnect and move the tub during a remodel.
