Pump stops working but will come back on and work again. Stopped 2x in the last couple days ?....
Well pump

Sounds like it's overheating and shutting itself off.
Blocked Water Supply Piping
If the water supply pipes become clogged, the pump will short cycle. A clog in the water supply creates high water pressure very quickly. The best way to check for this is to check the water filter. If it's dirty or blocked, replace it, and you may restore function.

Smack your switch. Make sure it isn't stuck. That could be a really simple fix if the pressure switch is just getting hung up. Maybe called "limit switch?"
There should be a way too see if the limit switch is shutting it off or not. Listen to see if you can hear it cycle or use a meter.
Guy here put n in new tank and pressure switch - can't do that stuff anymore - dang
Glad you got it taken care of, Dan. You’ve done plenty throughout your life. You have the knowledge, just not the ability. We will all get there eventually. Hopefully.
