I’ve wired the motor as shown. The breaker trips as soon as I turn it on. No noise at all. Ive checked the connections and removed old push on connectors. Im not sure if the jumper is correct. Its only on one fin of l2 terminal… the black and white wire is connected to common -l2.
The motor shaft does spin easily from the rear.
Not sure what couldbe wrong as the motor is new. Thanks for your help.
The motor is wired correctly. The jumper appears to be placed in the right spot. It would sit on one fin of the L2 terminal.
Like for Like - You ordered the UST1102. Is that a direct replacement for what you had previously? The UST1102 has a total HP rating of 1.1. That 1.1 total HP rating should be equal to or greater than your original motor. Multiply HP x SF to get the total HP rating.
Confirm Voltage - Use a multimeter and confirm that you are getting 115v to the motor.
Test Start Capacitor - It’s possible that the start capacitor is bad. A bad start capacitor can cause the motor to draw excessive current, leading to the breaker to trip.
Here is a video on how to test a start capacitor.
I replaced the motor, and rewired it correctly the first time. Now it humms but does not start. Im able to spin the impeller with my fingers. I have a new circuit breaker and a new line from the motor to the junction box. Not sure what to try check now maybe its not spinning easily enough?
