Motor Diagram B2848 7-177080-24

[Jrevard]

Hi first post,

Please help me find data sheet for B2848 7-177080-24. Interested in how to test/wire. Used pool pump motor would like to repair/repurpose.

Motor label (sorry if upside down)

Thanks!

Probably not economically repairable.
The normal failure mode:
The centrifugal switch fails and the motor burns out on stalled rotor current.

Thanks for the reply Bill. I was able to make out the faded diagram on the label and test the motor, it sat and buzzed. I'm hoping it's just the capacitor, I have ordered one for $10 and will test with new cap.

It’s either the capacitor or the centrifugal switch, but most of the time it’s the switch. It gets gummed up with dust and oil so it fails to change state. Usually if it will not start, it means the contact failed to close after the last time it ran, so the capacitor is not in the circuit.

On second look, it appears many pool and spa motors are PSC, meaning there is no centrifugal switch, in which case it might be the capacitor after all. But also, a common thing to happen to pool and spa motors is that the leaks on the shafts fail and water gets inside, then it damages the windings. If so, it’s not worth repairing.
