Hot Pentair Warrior SE Controller!

[Lilypad]

It *is* good looking, but I'm talking about how warm the controller box gets when running. It seems hotter than I would've expected.

It is in the shade when the robot is running. I let it go through an hour and a half cycle, sometimes the full two hours. What's your experience been with it?

I don't have the same cleaner but my robot's control box does get warm. Not hot (oh baby, baby LOL) but warm.

Mine gets warm.

I have the SE and have thought the same thing. I don't think it is something to worry about as I don' t think I have heard of many failures.

The power supply converts line voltage (house current) to low voltage for the bot. There will be heat produced because of this process.

Thanks @Hootz! I had forgotten about the low voltage and that explains it.
