DIY help needed with well pump

[Jkt_29]

My water quit a couple of days ago.
I went to the well house and the pump was not running so I checked to see if it had power.
It read about 120 on each side of the pressure switch and the contacts were closed but the pump
would not run so I assumed it went bad.

I got a new pump and still have the same problem. I even took out the new pump and exchanged it.
I have installed a couple of pumps before but I'm just a diy person with limited knowledge.
What could it be if I have power but the pump will not run?

Are you sure power is getting through the switch? Are the contacts dirty?

The new pump came with a pressure switch already mounted so it's also new.
I did take off the cover on the motor and had power there.

Are you sure your pump is wired for 230?

It is supposed to be pre-set at 230. This is the pump I bought.

Sounds like you are only feeding the pump 120 volts. Check to see if you have 240 volts between L1 and L2.
