My Hayward Power Flo Pump Just Hums

Question:
My Hayward Power Flo pump just hums when I turn it on. Was running fine less then 24 hours ago. Any suggestions?

Answer:

Ellen,

Take a small hammer and tap the motor casing a few times, This can “free up” any dirt / rust on the motor armature,

If tapping the pump motor a few times does not get the pump to go, let me know and I can suggest something else.
