About well pump control box repair
Some submersible pumps use a control box mounted above ground, often near the pressure tank or in the garage. It holds parts that help the motor start and run.
When a part inside fails, the pump may hum without starting, trip the breaker, or not run at all. Control box parts carry household voltage, so leave the cover on and let the company test it.
Signs to watch for
- The pump hums but does not start
- The breaker trips as the pump starts
- The control box is hot or smells burned
- The pump starts only sometimes
- No water after a nearby lightning strike or power surge
