Title: 2005 Sundance Cameo pump 2 doesn't work
Post by: frankpaul1 on March 21, 2016, 08:56:35 am

Hi, hope you guys can help me out. We just moved into our new house and acquired a Sundance Spa Cameo in the deal. Very nice spa, just filled it up after cleaning it thoroughly.

But there is a problem. Pump 1 functions great, as does the blower. Pump 2 doesn't do anything. I hear a click in the relay box, but it doesn't do anything. I have switched the wires from pump 1 and pump 2 and pump 1 does work when connected to the button from pump 2. So no faulty fuses or other problems.

I thought it might be an air lock problem, but after draining the massage knobs as instructed in the manual still no power. Should I try loosen the hoses connected to the pump or is this not going to solve this?

Got a tip from the local dealer to try and rotate the pumps crank with a screwdriver. This didn't help unfortunately. So I decided to open the capacitor room to check if I could find anything wrong there.

The capacitor does look a bit bloated, but if the screwdriver trick didn't work could it still help to replace the capacitor? Your help is appreciated.

 If you can get a capacitor, it would be worth trying before buying a new pump.
