What's actually wrong: symptom to likely cause
| Symptom | Likely cause | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Won't turn on at all, or trips the breaker | Failed motor or capacitor, wiring/moisture fault | $100–$500 |
| Runs, but weak flow or low pressure | Worn impeller, clogged inlet, or aging motor losing power | $120–$400 |
| Grinding, screeching, or loud whining | Failing bearings or seal | $100–$350 |

Why pump repair needs a licensed contractor
Pump work touches wiring on a wet-location circuit and the pool's plumbing -- exactly the class of work Arizona's ROC CR-6/R-6/C-6 license covers, and exactly the kind of work Kingman Pool Pros doesn't route to a cleaning-only company. Arizona does not require a contractor licence for pool cleaning alone, but it does for pump, filter, heater, and other equipment work (ROC class CR-6 or R-6/C-6). Any repair or equipment request we pass along goes to a company that reports holding an active licence in that class -- verify any contractor yourself at azroc.my.site.com before hiring.

Common questions
How much does pool pump repair cost?
Most pump repairs run $100 to $700, with the typical job landing around $350. Motor replacement runs $350–$700, seal replacement $100–$250, impeller repair $120–$300 (replacement $150–$400), and electrical repairs $100–$250.
Why does my pool pump trip the breaker?
Most often a failing motor drawing too much current, a worn capacitor, or a wiring/moisture issue at the connection. This is electrical work on a wet-location circuit -- not a DIY fix, and it requires a contractor holding an Arizona CR-6/R-6/C-6 pool contractor license.
Should I repair or replace my pool pump?
If the motor itself has failed, replacement ($350–$700) is often close enough in cost to a major motor repair that a new pump -- with a fresh warranty -- can be the better value. A seal, capacitor, or impeller-only issue is usually worth repairing rather than replacing the whole pump.
Is a pump repair covered by cleaning service?
No. Kingman Pool Pros routes cleaning and equipment repair to different independent local companies -- pump work is equipment repair and requires the licensed side. See is my pool cleaner licensed in Arizona.
