The way to know is to actually test the current draw of the pump - but it would likely be a waste of time. Electric motors typically draw too much current for one of two reasons - either the bearing lubricant has dried up and turned to varnish, or the motor electrical insulation has failed, causing shorts between windings, or powerful eddy currents through the iron laminations of the magnetic structure. The latter is unrepairable. The former can be cured if the motor bearings can be disassembled, cleaned, and re-lubed or replaced as needed.
