  Dr. John White DVMAug 17, 2025
  Why is my Curtis Water Pump motor overheating? Several factors could be at play. It might be due to overloading from excessive working pressure. Other potential causes include a burnt piston or bearing metals, voltage drops or low voltage, or loose connections. To address this, lower the working pressure if it's too high. Inspect and tighten any loose connections. If the piston or bearing metals are burnt, consider rebuilding the compressor. For voltage issues, contact your power company or install a transformer.
