I have a Goulds submersible pump (model #76505412, 230v, 1/2hp, max amps: 6.0) that was installed in 1996 before I moved into my current home. Unaware of well depth but I have a six inch Campbell well casing cap. 32 gallon pressure tank.
Last week I had a company come out to take a look at what our issue was. Said it was the pressure tank so my father and I took the old tank out and replaced it, the pressure switch(30/50 to 30/50), and all fittings including the pressure valve and tee. The water worked for 2 days or so and then no water at all. I changed out the buss fuses and it proceeded to work for another 3 days and again no water. So I bought more fuses thinking that would work again temporarily but this time after replacing, I flicked the pressure switch lever from off to start and nothing happens.
I don't know a heck of a lot about electricity except to respect it, but I used my meter(set to volts AC) and its registering in the high 300's. That would be my leading guess of what's wrong but figured I'd check here for additional input.
