Why does my pool pump make a buzzing noise?

Why does my pool pump make a buzzing noise? If the shaft feels tight to turn, either bearings or debris will be the problem. Debris can be removed by dismantling the pump body and cover from the impellor (diffuser) and inspecting. If the shaft is free to turn the motor capacitor is most likely the reason for motor buzzing. The capacitor does get weak over time.
