Hi,
I had a transformer blow down the street yesterday. I heard a big boom, power went out and 1 hour later came back on. My IntelliFlo/Pro 3 VSF did not. This particular pump I bought on ebay as a damaged box "like new". Indeed the box was damaged but the pump looked and appeared like new in every way. I installed it myself and for 2 months it's been perfect until this transformer boom. It is highly doubtful I can return it anywhere or warranty it since it's possibly a year + old in the box and bought on ebay. I'm hoping I can repair it.
I have already tried shutting it down. I flipped breaker box switches to completely turn it off several times for minutes at a time. The lights work. The connect button turns green. The On/Stop button just stays yellow. If you press it, then it turns red/stop. Press it again and just turns yellow. Hold the middle button and it resets (all lights go blue for a second) and then it goes back to being yellow. I mean it used to work perfect. If it was on red you hit the button and it goes green and/or starts the priming and then goes green. The app has worked perfect as well. I just don't know what to replace since the transformer down the street obviously had an impact.
For reference the grounds should be be right. I grounded both the internal ground next to the IO Board and also the external ground attached to the pump itself. Very frustrating I'm having this problem at all. Any help would be appreciated. Unfortunately I do not have a voltage detector. If I need to go buy one, then let me know which one to buy and I'll update the posts on what I get.
Oh, also the app says device alert "internal error - supply volage sensor. :Your IntelliFlo/Pro3 VSF has an internal error." Yeah no Crud. I don't know if this error was from me flipping the breaker on/off or if it happened when the transformer popped though.
Any help on what to replace or try would be appreciated.
Thanks, Ed
