There is a thermal over load located inside the motor that turns the motor off when it gets to hot, a precaution to protect the motor from further damage. However depending on the age of the motor it may have to be replaced at this point anyway. Recommend consulting a pool repair tech

How is an above ground pool pump different from an in ground pool pump?
In simplest terms, an above ground pool pump is a flooded suction pump, which means the water level must be higher than the pump for it to operate, and an inground pump has the ability to draw water up from a level lower than the pump. The engineering and structure of these two different types of pumps is what makes them work the way they do. This means that, in a typical installation, you could use an inground-specific pump on an above ground pool, but not an above ground pump on an inground pool with the water level below the pump.
