My Hayward pump doesn’t have a capacitor. Any other suggestions to get rid of the humming sound?

I just replaced Hayward Super Pump. reviewing the chart of descriptions #9 Diffuser was not in the box that I just purchased. However the old pump did not have a diffuser on it either.
I have wired everything per instructions. I turn the pump to ON position motor comes on but only for a few seconds and shuts off…
any advice???

My pummp isn’t very old…and I was told I could cut the pump off at night and just run it during the day to save energy. My first attempt of this was last night…and now when I cut it on it just hummmmmms. The motor bearing/part is extremely HOT-I cut it off-and I’m wondering if this tap tap tapparoo will work on it. What else could it be?
