The pump has a thermosthat like device, so if the pump does get to hot, it will by itself turn on & off. You should try running the pump only @ nite on hot days. Your not supposed to have the pump on while your in the pool anyway. I however have had 2 pumps go bad both in the matter of 2 weeks of use. The plastic smell you describe is the impeller shaft (plastic) getting overheated. I'm going to purchase an after market pump & filter, that way my daughter can actually use the pool !
Are you keeping the pump out of the sun while it is running? I think it can overheat when it is a hot day and the pump is running. My pools usually outlast the pumps so I just buy a replacement pump on eBay or amazon. The Intex website also sells them. My pumps seem to last 12 to 18 months
Hi, How long is the extension cord you are using? if it is longer than 20 or 30 feet, that could be causing an issue with the current to the pump, and cause it to burn out prematurely.
If you have a manual for the pump, check to see if there is a limitation on the length of cord or distance from the outlet that you can set up the pump.
