Pump not working - makes buzzing noise when powered on

Any ideas? Not an electrician and no knowledge of pumps. AstralPool Victoria Plus

Did a series of vacuums and backwashes to bring the pool out of winter. then went to do another cycle and got this buzzing noise (like the buzz of a transformer). Pump is about 7 years old - always reliable til now. Thanks in anticipation for pointing in the right direction. I have an audio of the sound but can't see how to attach it.

Almost certainly the start/run condenser, a low cost part that is cheap and easy to replace in most cases. If you are not sure of taking on the job find a motor rewind compny near you and let them do it
