Prologic Electrical panel hot to touch?

[parkee99]

Have been working on my pool a lot after having a new Tristar 950 installed this week. My electrical control box is very hot to touch, particularly in the upper corner where the transformer is. I have not noticed it before.

I tested the transformer outputs which should read 2-2.9 ohms. My violet and gray read 3.1. I just picked up a spare used prologic so I swapped out the transformer bit it is still running hot.

Could someone with an Aqualogic or prologic do me a big favor and measure the temperature(Infrared temp gun works best) on the backside upper corner when running the pump and tell me their temp. I am getting 165 degrees. Thanks.

Don't know my exact temp but yes mine has run hot for years

It just seems too hot. Can't hold my hand on the back of the panel where the transformer is for more than a second(165 degrees this am). Another call out to measure the temp of the box behind the transformer when the pump is running would be greatly appreciated.
