Shower Pump Motor - Considered Running Temperature ? Discussion ThreadShower Pump Motor - Considered Running Temperature ? Electrical Advice
Would you consider a single phase Shower Pump Motor operating with a temperature high enough to burn finger tips touching the motor body, to be too high.
Shower pump stopped during shower, checked various things. Fuse ok etc. Although the motor as said by the manufacture to have thermal protection. The pump bodies each of pump were cold and hot as expected cylinder thermostat set at 60c.
Manufacture saying this is normal, as not accecpting a warranty claim. Yet there is an open circuit across the plug (fuse ok) and stator shows a reading on the ohms meter. A start/run capacitor is fitted, which is the next item I will test.
If the Capacitor is at fault etc., would this cause a motor to run hot with eventual total motor failure.
