Hi, Take the four bolts out that hold the motor to the pump body...then carefully so that you do not ruin the gasket, get the motor the impeller and the pump face plate off of the pump body...it may take a bit or prying and tapping to get it apart... Then comes the fun part...the impeller spins off of the motor shaft in the opposite direction of the rotation of the motor...so check the motor rotation and then you have to spin the impeller off of the motor shaft...a strap wrench works sometimes and sometimes you need to beat the impeller with a hammer and screw driver to get it off... holding the motor shaft at the same time can be a problem...sometimes you can get to the shaft and other motors have a screw driver slot or a nut at the back ot the motor to allow you to hold the shaft...this is best done with two people...
Once the impeller is off then the plate can slide off of the shaft... however you should replace the ceramic seal with a new one when installing a new motor...usually the old seal will leak if you do not... of course if you do not install the new seal very carefully it will leak also... then place the plate on the new motor and spin the impeller on again....
For me... I usually always but a motor, impeller and seal when doing a job like this...
their is 2 plugs one that goes into the other than that gets plugged in, unplug both , and only plug in the one cable with the prongs. the float on the pump is not working.
If your pump is turning then something is stopping the water from being removed. If you can see the pump check to see if the water is becoming turbulent when the pump kicks on? If the water doesn't appear to move or is moving only a little then either the pump impeller is damaged or the screen that keeps debris from entering the pump is clogged. If it's never been cleaned it is most likely just a clogged filter screen. Clean it and it should work fine. If however the screen is clear then it is either a blocked line or a bad pump. And yes a pump can still run and not pump, if the impeller is bad.
DONT KNOW WHAT KIND OF MOTOR THIS IS BUT : IF THE MOTOR SAYS 115/230 VOLT AC ON THE INFO TAG AND IT HAS A LOW/ HIGH WIRING DIAGRAGM THEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CONVERT IT. SOME MOTORS HAVE A SWITCH ON THE FRONT FACE WHERE YOU REMOVE A SCREW AND ROTATE A SHAFT. IF THIS DOESNT HELP GIVE MORE INFO. JODY
Question edited for correct spelling of maker 'Noen' to 'Moen'.
'Fix' as in it is leaking? Or tighten it down because it is wobbly, or something completely different?
Well, we can have a one on one seminar by the internet. I've been a pumpman for 20 years. I can share with you my experience (household pumps, suibmersible pumps, turbine pumps, gear pumps, piston pumps, dewatering pumps, mud pumps, trash pumps, mining pumps, solids handling pump, etc....) Just take your pick. Just send in your e-mail for assistance. God bless.
It is leaking due to a defective mechanical seal. It needs to be replaced. To replace it, is to take the pumpcase off by taking off the bolts that hold it. Then, take the impeller off to take the mechanical seal behind it. Put the replacement in, and reassemble the pump. Just get in touch with us by e-mail to get more assistance.
