I have a 3 hp 3 wire Gould pump that does nothing but fill the pond that has another pump that irrigates the lawn. It runs most of the time to keep up.The other day it stopped working. The breaker was not tripped. The start capacitor was leaking so I replaced it. Still nothing. I disconnected the pump wire at the well. No voltage. The points are closed on the pressure gauge. It reads 240 at the line side of the controller but nothing on the load side. Could a shorted pump have fried the controller ? I have a new controller ordered but don't want to damage it if the pump is the problem. Thanks for any advice.
