jose Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I have an A.O. Smith B855 motor that has been working for a while but now fails to start. It does not hum or start at all when the Filter pump button is pressed on the Easy Touch Panel while in Service Mode. It does not hum or start at all when the scheduled start time is met. I can turn the motor shaft/impeller by hand freely without any tools so there is no bind. The Polaris 280 booster pump works fine. The Pentair 2HP water fall motor works fine. All other items, such as valves, blower, etc. work fine. There is power to the panel. No breaker is tripped. I replaced the capacitor at the top of the motor just to be sure but no luck. When I press the Filter Pump button on the Easy Touch panel while in service mode, I hear a click, which I assume is coming from the replay in the panel. Could it be a faulty relay? I was thinking of troubleshooting it by swapping the relay from the waterfall motor since I know it works. Any ideas? Thanks, Jose . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
