No red reset button

I opened the pump to the impeller and there is no obstruction

"RichToyBox" mentioned the problem of running when it is still wet, if
it is dry, you might also look for physical obstructions that may have
gotten washed into the unit through vent holes or damaged bearings.

If you still have it open, see if you can turn it freely with your hand.

Something is causing it to draw too much current, which causes heat,
which throws the heat protection switch.

Fix what's causing the heat and you will fix the intermittent running.
