Hi,
The most common problem with these circulators is that the stator gets stuck and does not turn.
Sometimes you can take out the four bolts on the corners and pull the motor off. Get the stator freed up again and it will work. Make sure to turn the water off before dissassembling the pump. Hopefully you have valves do you can isolate the pump.
Also check that the impeller has not broken off the end of the shaft, that also happens sometimes.
You can check the cap. with an OHM meter by switching the terminals with the test leads and the resistance should count down to zero with each switch of the leads on the terminals...if not it is bad, but replacement of the cap. may not fix the pump usually it is a secondary failure...
If you can't get the pump ot work after taking it apart and making sure it turns freely then I would replace the pump.
Question edited for correct spelling of maker 'Noen' to 'Moen'.
'Fix' as in it is leaking? Or tighten it down because it is wobbly, or something completely different?
Move the lever or turn the knob. Check the stop tap under the sink. Make sure the faucet control knob or lever is tight, There is normally a removable cover that hides the screw..

This a Menards special. To remove handles, look for a small hole hidden from the front. They take a small Allen Key.
If your Sta-rite vertical mse-7 pump will not prime, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
Check the water level: Make sure the water level in the pool or spa is high enough to reach the skimmer and the pump. Low water levels can cause the pump to lose prime.
Check the skimmer basket: Make sure the skimmer basket is clean and free of debris. A clogged skimmer basket can restrict water flow and prevent the pump from priming.
Check the pump lid O-ring: Make sure the pump lid O-ring is in good condition and properly seated. A damaged or misaligned O-ring can cause air leaks and prevent the pump from priming.
Check the suction plumbing: Check the suction plumbing for leaks, cracks, or other damage. Any air leaks on the suction side of the pump can cause loss of prime.
Check the impeller: If the impeller is damaged or clogged with debris, it can prevent the pump from priming. Remove the pump basket and inspect the impeller for damage or debris. Clean or replace the impeller as needed.
Check the pump seal: If the pump seal is damaged, it can allow air to enter the pump and prevent priming. Inspect the pump seal for damage and replace it if necessary.
If none of these troubleshooting steps resolve the issue, you may need to call a professional pool service technician to diagnose and repair the problem.
