I recently replaced my submersible well pump, wiring, pressure switch, and pressure tank about two weeks ago. Everything was running good for about a week then the new tank seemed to not be filling properly and when taking baths, the water would stop and wait for the pump to run again. Today, the water just stopped. The pressure 30-50 pressure switch had burnt out and I replaced it with a 30-50 switch I had that I believe is in good shape. After turning the breaker back on, I heard the switch humm then off. Made sure the valve from the well was open and I noticed the wiring was exceptionally hot. Then switch never disengaged and then started to smoke.
I have 230V at the switch on both sides of the switch. I have 10gauge 2wire plus ground, running to pump. I want to say its an electrical issue outside of the well, but Im wondering if the pump is shot...again.
