So I was getting low salt readings and flashing check cell and check salt LED's.
I know my salt was actually a little high by test kit assay.
Cell is clean.
So I decided it was symptomatic of my 3-4 year cell dying and bought a new one.
NO change in readings or LED's
All my voltages/amps are in spec too....
Thoughts?

Cold water, say below 60 degrees, can cause the salt level to read lower than actual.

Open the panel and look for anything burnt. Check the wires for burn marks and corrosion.

OK, been awhile but...
Unit still reading low 2100 and not generating despite multiple tests showing 3200-3400 salt.
pool temp is 80 degrees.
New cell.
No burnt parts on board, fuse is good.
I replaced the black disc anyway just in case.
I guess I will by a new main board unless someone has an idea?
thanks

You didn't see any burn marks on or around the varistor like this(actually cracked)?

No, I did not. but I replaced it anyway.
No change in the symptom of low salt reading
