I have a dug well. During times of elevated water usage the pump stops pumping. The contacts on the pressure switch are closed calling for the pump to run and approx 240 volts on the wire going to the pump. I already replaced the pressure switch. I suspect thermal overload issue. I was wondering if there was anything else I can check before getting into the well and retrieving the pump that could be causing this. The pump will turn on about 15 minutes after it tripped and all is fine until I do more than just "normal" water usage.(water flowers for instance)
