Jandy ePump 2.7 THP Variable Speed Pool Pump with Digital Control OT Error Fix: Over Temperature — Motor or Drive Overheated

The motor or drive electronics exceeded the safe temperature limit — the drive shuts down to prevent heat damage; causes include inadequate ventilation around the pump (pump installed in an enclosed space without airflow), extremely high ambient temperature, motor running at high speed for extended periods in hot conditions, failing motor bearings increasing friction and generating heat, or drive ventilation slots blocked by dirt or cobwebs; ensure the pump area has adequate airflow (minimum 6 inches clearance on all sides); clean ventilation openings on the drive housing; if bearings are noisy, they need replacement
