I installed my Fuji motor starter today. It was not that bad. Not sure what I expected though? You just need a screwdriver and the power shut off.

I received my replacement parts for my sprecher & schuh motor starter. I am replacing them with Fuji Electric parts. I will install it tomorrow.

Today I tested all the three phase legs and they all checked out fine.
My motor starter looks like one of the legs fried? One wire melted (first picture) and the terminal in the contactor melted (second and third picture) and it also blew my three phase breaker. My question is: What do you think the problem is? Is it just the motor starter? Pump motor? Who knows what the problem is? I guess I will know after I check the voltages and replace the contactor like Greg suggested.

I tested out all my 3 phase legs today. The 3 pictures show all the 3 voltages for all 3 legs.
The 41.9 Volts was obviously the problem so I traced the wire to the box and the wire fell out of the wire nut. Mep1 and Greg were correct with my problem with the motor starter: it was a wiring problem. What was weird was the motor starter was working fine then quit working. Problem solved. Thanks Mep1 and Greg.
Motor starter would not start the motor. The motor starter would be depressed and make a humming noise but nothing happened, then the breaker would blow. I have no clue except maybe the motor starter is bad?
I still do not know what the yellow wire does but I know it is not the motor starter, that is the red wire.
I could not figure out what the problem was today with my high pressure soap and wax and I knew it had to be a Coleman setup misunderstanding. So I called Greg and he answered my question over the phone! The problem I was having was I was getting pressurized water from the water line where I expected gravity feed. Greg explained to me the way the Coleman unit works, it uses cold water at city pressure for rinse and hot water or gravity feed for high pressure soap and wax. My problem was exactly what Greg told me over the phone and was a miswiring. Thanks Greg.
