I have a Sta-Rite 333K BTU/hr natural gas heater on my pool & spa (2007) and a mouse built a nest over the winter. When I turn on power, the key pad initializes until it displays R=5, then it shuts off. After that, nothing is displayed. I assume the heater goes through a system check and shuts off to protect itself because of a short (thanks to the mouse). I haven't located any obvious cut wires, but I'll explore in more detail this afternoon.
Does anyone know of the initialization sequence for the board that might point to where to start, ie. after displaying the firmware version (R=5), what does it check next?
When I opened the case and discovered the nest, it had a lot of small, chewed up pieces of insulation, but I don't see where the insulation was taken from. Where in the unit, is there yellow insulation with aluminum backing?
