Waterway Won't start: Pump Won't Start

What It Means

Pump Won't Start

Likely Causes

• GFCI tripped (most common cause)
• Breaker tripped
• Capacitor failed on single-phase motors
• No 240V supply at motor terminals

Next Checks

1. Check and reset GFCI protection at outlet or subpanel
2. Check main breaker — reset if tripped
3. Test supply voltage at motor terminals (240V expected)
4. Inspect and replace start/run capacitor if motor hums but won't start
