Try this before buying a new pool pump! 1.5 HP Century Pump
After a long trip the pump accidentally ran dry for a while and when we got back the pump would have a loud buzzing sound at first, and then overheat and make no sound at all. We thought the pump given the age was completely shot and just needs to be replaced but we tried this capacitor just in case. The physical size was slightly different but the install was easy and the pump works fantastic again! $8 vs $300 was an easy decision and always worth trying, even if it wasn’t the solution, you’ll have a spare cap for the new pump so it’s not a waste.I didn’t see info in reviews for my pump so wanted to leave info in case you have something similar:Century Centurion 1.5 HP Pool PumpPart: 0-F56AA40A01-24CAT: B2854
