Pump sprang a leak that was caused by the drain plug shooting out. Earlier acid washed DE filter. Lost a lot of water. My repair person came and re installed the drain plug. Polaris was working fine after repair per repair person. Next day polaris is not working and wheels do not turn. There is no filter assembly for me to check on the polaris tubing. Just have two swivel connections near the wall of the pool. There is a low noise from the pump, like water inside the motor, that goes on and off repeatedly. I have a polaris 380 pool cleaner. The noise existed prior to water leak.

polaris has belts in side it if your handy you can replace them your self if not any pool place can do it but it is a belt i have a 380

If the wheels don't turn there may be sand in the notches on the wheels, the notches may be worn off, if their is sand or dirt in the paddel wheel jet that will keep the unit from turning and again no wheel movement. All of these problems they can check in your local pool store. Stores will generely check your unit out and fix what is needed for just the price of parts to fix it when you bring it into the store.
If you have no water flow to the unit this will also stop things from working so be sure to check your finger screen before you do anything.
SOURCE: Hello, Volut cracked overnight and leaked
With a new volute the most likely causes for low pump flow is a restricted return line, a restricted suction line(or air leak), or there is something wrong with the impeller in that order. There is a filter screen in the return line that can cause the return line to be restricted if it is plugged. It is either in the wall fitting or in the tubing system close to the wall fitting. If it is dirty it means that debris is getting into the system. Typically an early indication that a grid in a DE filter has a leak in it is a plugged cleaner filter screen. The speed of the motor could be causing the problem but this is rare without causing an over current condition in the motor causing it to shut off. My suggestion is first check the return filter screen. If it is dirty then clean it out. Before connecting the return hose start the pump and check the flow by reaching down and manually putting your hand over the water stream coming out of the wall fitting. Turn off the pump and connect the cleaner hose without the filter screen installed. Disconnect the hose from the cleaner and hold the end of the hose while someone turns on the pump. Water should come out of the hose at a high rate. Next install the filter screen and the flow coming out of the hose should be about the same. Now try connecting it to the cleaner. I hope this helps.
Testimonial: "Thanks, good advice. Turns out the screen was pretty dirty and had a small hole in it, which allowed two of the four jets to be clogged as well."

attempt to start the engine in neutral using a battery charcer/starter on the starter connectors only if the engine turns over replace the battery cables if not; you have a seized engine
SOURCE: polaris p93 shuts off after a few minutes
Best bet would be return as defective and get a new one
