I had a Craftsman 1/2hp. convertible deep-shallow well pump for my garden. It stopped working about a month ago. The motor did nothing, no sound, no leaks.
An electrician came out and verified that it was getting power, 230V. First, he checked the fuse box and it was fine.
I figured that the pump had died so I purchased another and installed it myself. I bougth the same brand, but upgraded to a 1hp.
I am getting the same results...absolutely nothing. The manual said to check the discharge switch if motor does not turn on. I can find no such switch and they do not show a picture or location in the manual. It also says to check the fuse. What fuse? My fuse box is fine and a new product shouldn't have a blown fuse, right? There is also no fuse visable, although there may be one inside the motor.
To avoid additional expenses, I'm trying to fix this problem myself. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Karl
