Free Flow spa cuts off when motor kicks on

Free Flow spa about 10yr old. Everytime the motor kicks on it hums and shuts off. Also noticed a wire on the board that appears to have gotten hot

Hi @tnhiker

What is the model number of the spa and also the make and model number of the pump motor?

Check if there's a capacitor connected to the motor.

It sounds as though the motor is trying to start but can't.

If there is a capacitor then it may be faulty. This is used to help the motor to overcome the initial inertia when in the idle position allowing it to start rotating
