Heat on High Speed - 110 v 2 speed hot tub

The pump and motor was replaced. Heat comes on with high speed flow and causes breaker overload. Reversing red and black leads on the motor would seem to be the answer but low speed then draws 20 amps start up and only drops to 18.6 amps. It seems to be operating at high speed before the thermal protection kicks in. Definitely connected to low motor contact.

With the motor connections causing heat on high, the motor/pump starts on high drawing 12.3 amps & 112 v. Switching jet speed (doesn’t indicate low or high) the speed changes to slow and motor draws 3.9 amps and 120.6 v.

Addt. Info - This is a 2015 Viking hot tub with 110 plug in electrical on a 15 amp circuit per OEM. Topside seems to be working properly, no codes generated and controller shows no signs of failed components. Both temp sensors required replacement previously. The 1.5 HP Waterway pump was selected based upon the original pump/motor assembly.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Wiring to hi and low speed terminals is reversed. When you hit the jet button and it changes to low tells you that. A 110v installation can't handle a heater and a pump on high.
