The earth screw if tightened sufficiently will break the insulated block, thereby leaving poor pressure on the earth wire lug. It needs a spacer between the insulation and the motor housing for safe operation so that the lug is clamped properly.
I drilled some small holes in the housing for the capacitor wires, with a very snug fit. Cr@ppey design. The impeller seal lasted 4 hours for me so it is wise to remove the impeller and fix this. Bad surface finish on the casting destroys whatever the seal was. Causes spring water spray fever in the tank. I just put on a premolded mains lead and fitted a plug on the housing.
Hinge (piano style) the back part of the cabinet while you have it in bits.
Check for many loose connections.
