How to replace the Motor Start Mechanism A.O. Smith motor

Post by everettdavis »

I should mention

How To Replace AO Smith Motor Parts by INYO Pools is a document in My Google Drive that illustrates how to replace the Motor Start Mechanism in an A.O. Smith motor in a pool pump.

Aside from the motor end-bell / cover and the presence of a thermal protection module not in older A.O. Smith motors, the centrifugal switch parts are identical to the Shopsmith A.O. Smith motor in early Shopsmith motors.

There are some resources on the last page that will help you identify parts for yours, and perhaps G.E. and Franklin depending on what motor model you have that are similar.

I moved it out of the sub-directory it was in, and back to the main page at https://www.shopsmith.com/ss_forum/view ... 90#p185690 earlier this morning....
