I am trying to diagnose a few old pumps at my grandmother that no longer work.
I was wondering if this sta rite mse-6 is wired for 220 or 110,I believe it's 110v

The pump has not ran in years and I'm not sure why.I connected 110v to L1 and L2 and the pump just hums.

I have checked resistance on the windings. the mains are 1.4 ohms and 1.2 ohms.the start winding is 11 ohms.
The motors shaft spins with a pair of pliers so its not locked up.
The Capacitor is within the spec on the UF reading

Probably a 240V only model, but I am not positive. The pressure switch could be the problem. I would get another or wire around it for the test.
thanks for the reply,I forgot to post the capacitor only rated for 110vac so I was thinking a 110.

I did wire around the pressure switch directly to l1 and l2 terminals and it just hums

It may be the start switch. Generally if it hums its either Start switch, capacitor, or stuck shaft. Most jet pumps are 110 or 220 depending how you wire them so they have a 110v capacitor even if they are 220v

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
