Need some help with pump!

[phillipj2]

So to matters worse on top of all the other stuff I'm going through my pump quits. I unplugged it to drain some water and all it does is buzz. I can't get it started. It doesn't want to spin to prop does this mean it's shot. This really sucks it's a 450 dollar pump. It's a giant hammerhead pump by baldor.

Did you check to make sure nothing got stuck in it? snail, sand?

 

[phillipj2]

Nothing this is a huge pump sand or a snail won't stop it. But that chamber is clear.
