Sounds like a primary winding is burnt. Pull it, have it inspected by motor shop to determine if it can be repaired or salvaged.

Depending on the age of your pump, why not replace it with the same brand and model. Not if it is not to your liking, there are several companies making sewage ejector series pumps.

if its for discharging toilet waste (2" discharge) i like the Little Giant Dominator

if its just clear water ( 1 1/2 discharge) id just use a submersible sump pump(i also like Little Giants)

you'll get tons of opinions on brand names....Zoeller is very popular too

look for cast iron and buy quality

id also recommend installing an alarm kit while your in there....it will save you some day
