Michael CA Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Hi, my softub motor (US MOTORS S55CXNPH-7249)stopped working and it makes humming sound. Is there a capacitor in this motor? If have to buy a new one, which model should I buy? Thanks, Edited September 25, 2020 by Michael CA correct spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cusser Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Looks like water damage to your electric motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Buy the same one you have, Gecko fmcp 1hp 115v. And fix whatever is leaking on it. You might even get away with just buying the motor, the wet end doesn't look too bad, but you will want a new shaft seal while you have it apart. It probably does have a capacitor, but I wouldn't bother trying to fix that mess. That's opening a whole can of worms that will likely end with you buying a new pump anyway after wasting time and money. Just my opinion from 25 years of fixing them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
