What to do if my Everbilt Water Pump will not turn on?

If your Everbilt Water Pump won't turn on, start by checking all electrical connections to ensure they are secure. If this doesn't solve the issue, have an electrician measure the current in the motor leads. If the current is within ±20% of locked rotor Amps, the impeller is likely locked. Also, if the current is 0, the overload may be tripped. Disconnect the power, let the pump cool down, and then check the current again.
