Those diaphragm switches always screw up. Add a float to the circuit. They sell add on floats. Just make sure you get the right one. Some open on rise and some close on rise.

Yeah - I'm wondering since it's at least 15 years old if I should just replace the whole thing.

At 15 years old you should absolutely replace the whole thing.

15 is old for a pump. But I have seen older. The floats are cheap, a new pump is way more. But there are sweet pressure controls on the new ones. And variable flow rates too.

If you can afford it, go new. But a new float will get you through winter.
