The reason everyone says to check battery voltage is low voltage causes an increase in current through the motor and that is what burns up the motor.
You may have a bad connection somewhere between the battery, solenoid and motor allowing a voltage drop "at" the motor. If there is a way to check the voltage drop at the motor that could tell you something.
Just a wild guess is the control board is trying to do two or more things at the same time overloading the system and the pump is bogging down making the motor work harder. On the other hand that should cause a fuse to blow!
