I am stumped as to cause. I can't see a thermal overload happening in
1 sec run time. Overload trip due to shot pump bearings, something

with the pump and it needs to be pulled.

Well, again, WTF trips the pump off?


Aye, there's the rub Is it the pressure switch or an overload
switch on the pump?

If you trust yourself not to get electrocuted, you might pull the cover off
the pressure switch and, at first, just object the operation. If it clicks
ON and then clicks OFF after a second then, like it or not, you have a
"situation."

I think that is the second time you mentioned the pressure switch. I
gave myself another installement on the flat forehead syndrom by
slapping myself there. Before I paid anyone to pull the pump, I would
replace the pressure switch - That eliminates the cheapest and fastest
and simplest possible cause.
