A month or so ago I posted a question about my well. The water was cutting on an off and the well was not keeping up.

Week and a half ago the breaker for the well kept tripping. It was a 20 amp two pole breaker. The plumber who helped me put the new submersible pump and new wiring and new preasure switch in, told me to put in a 30amp.
After putting in the new breaker the water has run without a problem for a week. The lights in the house even dimmed a lot less with the bigger breaker in.
This morning while taking a shower, the lights in the whole house flickered really bad, then the water cut off and I haven't been able to get water since. The breaker is fine, but the pump is not working.
Have I burnt up a pump in less than a month?
Thanks for any help you can give. I'm about tired of this problem, and I'm ready for it to go away for good, or at least a few years.
