This is what is happening. I am measuring voltage at the motor terminals. I think if there were air in the line causing the issue, the pump should still be running.Watch "Sundance circulator pump" on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/Dpe_4ecnnxI

You're right, it is only a 2016 . It uses the cheaper LX pump, not an Aqua-flo. I've spent over 30 years in manufacturing and facilities maintenance to know it's never cost effective to put in a cheap replacement for high-quality part. Manufacturers take that risk and still come out ahead by putting in cheaper parts knowing that the few pieces of junk that get installed would need to be replaced.Being an intermittent problem, I told the dealer I would rather wait to have this replace when I did a water change because I did not want to go through replacing all the water and start up chemicals again. They said they could replace that pump without draining the tub?? They are scheduled to come over next Tuesday. When I was discussing the warranty with the dealer, he told me everything was covered for 5 years. The warranty page doesn't mention anything about a service charge from the dealer and they never mentioned it to me. I will strongly disagree with the dealer trying to charge me anything for this warranty repair.I will keep you posted.Thanks all...
