Hayward Aqua Rite Power LED not turning ON

[jagt]

Hello all -
I'm a new pool owner. Just noticed today taht my Hayward salt water generator's power LED is OFF; however, its display is working.

The diagnostic readings are - 2200, 71, 6.3, 0.0, 23P, 0, AL-0, r-1.58, t-15.

4-5 days ago, I noticed the pool turning green, and saw the reading 2200 (didn't pay attention to the power LED that time). So I dumped 1.5 bags of salt. The TF test salt reading today was 2800. I wanted to check how this test result compares with the SWG reading in the panel; and that's when I noticed the power LED not On.

I did some research in this forum and saw two possible reasons - fuse or thermistor. How do I narrow it down? or am I missing something? Please help.

Thanks
Jag

Open up the Aquarite box, visually check the thermistor, and check the fuses with a multimeter.

Post pics of what you find.

ajw22, thanks for the response.
I opened the box and looked at the thermistor; looks like it's cracked on the left face (2nd pic below).. but not sure. Here are the pics
I checked the continuity on the fuse, and it is fine (hearing the beep).

Please advise. Thanks!

It is definitely bad.

oh. So you recommend replacing the thermistor? Can you please suggest where to buy?
Thanks!
