Yesterday I used my Liberty sump pump model s35 (spec sheet: http://www.paulsupply.com/files/LibertyS35.pdf )
and it was working great. I had plugged it manually and forgot. About 4 hours later, I remembered that the pump was still powered on. The water had been completely drained and I think that the pump had been still running for about 3 hours or so thereafter with no water left. I noticed that the motor had stopped. I tried to re-plug it to restart but it wont start. I waited some hours because it has thermal protection but it still wont start.
This morning I put the pump in a large bucket and filled it full with water since the pump has a Automatic Diaphragm Switch built into the pump. Nothing. The motor didn't even hum.
Is it possible that the motor burnt out? Is there anything that I should try to get it going again? The power outlet is fine. I dont know the 1st thing about mechanics but hope the pump can work again. help
