i have a water well with a 3/4hp franklin control box # 280 107 4910 it's worked well for years. i left my home for a month, came back, switched on the breakers to my well and nothing... i did a test and found that it was the old franklin relay switch # 152 138 903 which i used to buy for around ten bucks. now i can't find it so i bought an entire new control box # 280 107 4915 which is supposed to replace my old box. fine..... it came UPS, i installed it and NOTHING. the well pump does not come on.
there is 230v at the pump control box so the pressure switch is working. all i must do now is determine if the pump is getting 230v right? but the box must be closed for the contacts to work and engage the control box switch and capacitor.
i'm pretty bummed because all this well needed was that old franklin switch but since i couldn't get it and installed another pump box from tractor supply that didn't work, i'm concerned that i might have harmed the deep pump itself and this may be why the new box is not working. that new box BTW is a recommended replacement box for my old box so it has got to be the right one, right?
any suggestions?
thanks,
