These pumps all use induction motors, which are very sensitive to the incoming voltage. It's possible that the motor is just choosing this moment to pack it in, or that the controller IS trying to run two speeds at the same time - but I would sure check the voltage at the motor (or at the leads which go to the motor). Check first with everything off, then try to fire the pump. If it drops more than about 3% it is not legal, and if it drops more than 5% it can fry (or may already have fried) the motor and/or controller.
Also - check to see if the motor is a dual - voltage unit able to run on 110 as well as 220. If so, you may have some wiring problem with the incoming electrical in this new location. Many tub makers set the motors to run on 110, and they stay that way even if you choose 220 operation. But a simple wiring goof can send 220 to a pump which is not rated for it...
