I have a century centurion pool motor, Part# 7 -187400-20 and need to replace it. serial#070083M do you guys carry it?

Hi AK, The Letro 3/4 Hp Threaded Motor (B668) will be the correct replacement motor based on the p/n 7-187400-20 you're provided.

Do you have the complete pump assembly on this unit? And if you do what is the part number and the price? I seem to not be able to find the complete pump just the motor!

The whole pump can be found here at Polaris 3/4HP Booster Pump . The price can be found by just clicking on the link, please.

Will this motor be more energy efficient than my original Polaris Booster pump motor? And if so, is it possible to quantify by how much?
I already got a variable speed pool pump installed. So now I was looking to get more energy efficient with other pool related equipment.
Reply
Brian,No, this motor is not considered energy efficient. Unfortunately, there is only one motor that will fit the Polaris Booster pump.

My booster 7-173840-23 is making a high squealing. Noise like the bearing is going out. Is there bearing inside or what is making that high pitch noise
Reply
Mr. Singh,Yes, there are bearings inside your motor. Typically, once the motor starts making screeching noises, it's an indication of a leak towards your shaft seal. Once the water reaches the motor, the screeching starts.

I keep blowing start capacitors. What is the correct size for a b625 Polaris pump?
Reply
Hi Richard, This motor uses the 124-149 Mfd 125v Capacitor (BC-124). If it keeps blowing the capacitors then the motor will need to be replaced.

What is the difference between the B625 and the (B625) 3262-18?
Reply
Hi Brent, The p/n are the same. However if you were meaning to find out the difference between the B121 and B625, the B121 has a "keyed" shaft which requires the Shaft Extension (150) and the B625 does not. The B625 has a threaded shaft.

My motor is making screeching noises, an indication of a leak towards your shaft seal. Once the water reaches the motor, the screeching starts. Can I stop the screeching or do I have to replace the motor?
Reply
Good afternoon Terry,Yes once the motor gets wet it needs to be replaced. The part number for the shaft seal that you'll need to order with the new pump is going to be 3262-04.

After i replace the polaris booster pump and motor, do i need to cover this unit? If so
Do you sell a cover for the unit?

Hi Terry, You can use the Protective Pool Motor Cover to protect your motor.

Is a B265 motor the correct replacement of a 7-193794-50 A.O. Smith motor? The label on the pump lists the frame size as Y56Y. 3/4 hp,SF1.50, 3450 rpm, volts 230/115, amps SF 6.4/12.8.
Thanks,

Can you verify the numbers in your original message are correct as they are listed on your motor's label?

PB4-60 stopped working. Just hums when turned on. Replaced capacitor on top of motor but no change. Pump spins freely. Voltage to motor good (240), motor resistance 6.5ohms and not grounded. Is there another capacitor inside back of motor?
Reply
Hi Bill, This motor only has a start capacitor which is located on the top of the motor. There is no other capacitor inside of the motor.
Reply
I Sept 2016 and last weekend it shorted out following a heavy rain then freezing conditions. Was there a guarantee of any sort on the pump, which may be redeemable?
Reply
Good afternoon Kevin, The motor has a one year warranty. I was able to pull up your account information and start the warranty process. You will receive an email with instructions. I will need photos of the motor. Top label, side label and flange/shaft.
Reply
On the a.o. Smith b625 what is the correct wiring as it has an L2 and an L6. Using 220
Reply
Hello Scott- The wiring diagram is on the label of the motor. Since you are using 230v you would use the high voltage wiring diagram. According to that label, it shows you would connect 1 of your hots to line 1 and the other to line 2 and as always ground on green.

This is the part number on our Polaris pump. The motor is screaming. Sounds like a bearing's going. Is there more I should know or is this a direct, bolt-on replacement?
Thank you.

Do I need to purchase any additional parts when replacing this motor, such as new o-rings, gaskets, etc.?
Thank you!

Hi, Stacy. I would recommend getting the Polaris Booster Pump Tune Up Kit - GOKIT71.

Do I also need to replace booster pump on motor

I need the new style polaris booster pump motor, rear shaft access plug/cover, but have not found a diagram that shows it. Can you provide a part or a part number?

I have a Century Pool and Spa Motor (Booster Pump), CAT# B625, Serial# BW3-16, Part 7-173840-23, HP# 3/4, SF# 1.50, PH# 1 with RPM# 3450. This pool pump is having a loud noise, it is working fine and pool is cleaning well. The noise just annoy, is this a sign of bearing going bad.
(1) If I need to replace a motor, what motor can I buy
(2) Do I need to have GO-KIT (all the O-Rings, Shaft seals etc)
(3) And do i need a new impeller, which model should I buy.
Hi, Afab. Yes, the sound that is coming from the motor is a sign that the bearings are failing. This Century B625 is the correct replacement motor. I would also recommend getting the PB4 Tune Up Kit - GOKIT71 and the Impeller - P15.
Reply
I purchased this motor (B625) recently to replace my current one which is screaming like a banshee. What else do I need to install this motor (seals, o-rings, impeller?). P/N is 0-173840-23, S/N is 35717CH. Thanks!
Reply
Hey Brad, with any motor replacement we suggest replacing the seals and gaskets in your pump. This will help to prevent water intrusion and extend the life of your new motor. The seals are specific to the wet-end of the pump and we will need that model information to identify what they are. The impeller rarely needs to be replaced unless your unit is over 10 years old, or there is visible damage to the impeller.
Reply
Just started the pump and there water leaking around the drain plug, does this plug require an o ring? I want to try this first before ordering a seal kit.
Thanks!
This motor is for a pool sweeper. What other parts do I need? Seals, o-rings, etc.
Hello, You will also need the shaft seal and the housing o-ring. http://www.inyopools.com/Products/07501352025498.htmhttp://www.inyopools.com/Products/07501352022983.htm

Good Evening,
I just want to make sure that A.O. Smith P/N 3262-18 is a direct replacement for A.O. Smith P/N 7-193794-50.
Thank you,
Rex O.
Hi, Rex. This B625 is not a direct replacement for P/N 7-193794-50. The P64 replacement motor is no longer available.
Reply
I am looking for the exact same motor, and was wondering what the resolution was to this replacement problem?
Reply
So the B625 is not a direct replacement for a P/N 7-193794-50 but does it fit the requirements for my application?
Reply
Hi. Based on the label info, the B625 motor will NOT work. Please provide the pump wet end model info.

I ordered a Polaris Booster Pump Motor-B625, it looks like I need an o-ring for the shaft.
Does that come with the motor or do I need to order one & what is the o-ring P/N?
Reply
When replacing the motor on the booster pump we would recommend the Polaris Booster Pump Shaft Seal 5/8" - P55 and O-ring, Bracket To Volute (258). These do not come with the motor.

I would like to replace the vacuum motor, I need help locating the right one.....
CAT B625 Serial CA01-25 Part 8 - 173840-23 Type CS FR N56CZ

Please let me know and would the screws line up as well,
Thank you and have a great day
Hi Thomas, The B625 replacement motor is the correct replacement motor for your pool vac motor shown in your photo. You will also need a Seal Kit when you replace your motor and the two most common pumps that use the B625 are the Polaris Booster Pump and the Letro Booster Pump. If you have the Polaris Booster Pump then you will require this Polaris Seal Kit and if you have a Letro then you will require this Letro Seal Kit. We have also put together this Video on How to Replace a Booster Pump Motor which you may find helpful when you tackle this project.

Hi. I believe this is the correct replacement motor. But I’m not sure which seals or go kit to get. Is this the newer or older version PB4-60?
Do I need a different seal for this motor because I have a saltwater pool?

B625, PN 173840-23 (installed 06/2011)--
Motor started making loud noise a few days ago. Yesterday the pump shut off prior to the timer setting. I assume this is a safety (overheat shut off) feature. Today I turned the system back on to inspect what happened. Smoke come out of the motor vents as soon as I started the system. I disconnected the motor from the super pump (Hayward SP3000X). The shaft on the motor spins freely but there's a lot of corrosion around it. I plan to replace the motor.
The part number included here is good, sounds like you need a motor.

I purchased a replacement electric motor, but the shaft is too short. It 2 3/8 inches and needs to be 3 5/8 inches. What motor should I order?
The motor with the short shaft is is A.O. Smith B127 3/4 HP, 3450 RPM, 1 Speed, 230/115 Volts, 6.0/12.0 Amps, 1.5 Service Factor, 56J Frame, PSC, ODP Enclosure, C-Face Pool Motor

Hello, I am looking for a replacement booster pump which is used for my pool vac/robot. I have included a couple of photos. The one I have right now is an AO Smith Century Pool & Spa Motor.

Trying to replace an old A.O. Smith 3/4 h.p. motor and a leaky Volute or Vacuum pump for a Polaris pool cleaner. Do I need the model number off the old Smith and whatever the model number is off the vacuum pump in front. System is about 17 years old and it's been a good one, except once the bearings needed repacking about 6 years ago? I would like something, a motor and a vac pump, that would out last me at 71 years of age and going down hill fast, as a roll of t.p. toward the end unwinds fast.

My motor (K56C) on my Pre-94 Polaris booster pump died - it had the extension shaft. The wet housing (Volte & Impeller) are still in working order. Can this A.O. Smith model motor PART # 3262-18 BY CENTURY MOTORS be used to replace it since the parts diagram says that current motor model and original motor model ae interchangeable -- just won't need an extension shaft. Pictures attached - please advise.

Hi Eric, I am sorry to say that the P64 motor you need has been discontinued. It may be time for a new booster pump.
