Jandy ePump 2.7 THP Variable Speed Pool Pump with Digital Control OC Error Fix: Overcurrent — Motor Drawing Excessive Amperage

The motor is drawing more current than the variable speed drive can safely supply — the drive shuts down to protect the motor and electronics; causes include a jammed impeller (debris such as leaves, sticks, or small rocks stuck between the impeller and diffuser), seized motor bearings, damaged motor windings, incorrect voltage wiring (115V vs 230V configuration), or an impeller that is too large for the motor; check the impeller for debris by removing the pump strainer basket and reaching into the volute; check motor bearings by spinning the shaft by hand — it should turn freely; verify voltage wiring matches the drive configuration
