Thanks @1poolman1, I'll check the fuse, and thanks for the troubleshooting guide. Any idea on the short cycling pool pump that seems to be the control panel cutting power to the relay? It used to fix itself after I restored programming, but I think that was coincidental. I've replaced control...

I've had a recurring issue where my main pool pump keeps short cycling. At first I thought it was the pump or capacitor, but after putting a voltmeter on the control board and relay, I hear it actually clicking off (ie, not sending power to pool pump). This only happens with the main pool pump...

When I call Hayward, they email a set of links to self troubleshoot that have zero detail. They may be the most unhelpful tech support I’ve ever experienced. I just assume they don’t want to support retail customers. Am I calling the wrong number maybe?

Just wanted to follow up on this in case anyone runs into an issue. The intermittent pump started again after a brief power outage. Fortunately, I had saved a copy of the programming from my latest. I restored the programming, and it worked! So, it looks like something is corrupting the file...

My pb programmed it. But, I went through the settings and learned what the valves, relays, and interlocks were. I re-programmed from scratch and did only step at a time to verify pump working each time. By the time I got to the end, it miraculously worked. I made no other changes. So, either I...

I did try all 4, and they did the same thing. HOWEVER, something weird… I programmed the main pump as a spillway, and it stayed on! Something about the new firmware may be affecting the main pool pump. I wonder if it has to do with interlocks. I did a basic reprogram of the OmniLogic that only...

My main pool pump, when on spa infloor cleaner mode, stays on but will stop/restart every minute or so. I measured the 24v relay voltage, and it drops to about 18. The same main pool pump when put on regular pool pump mode will turn off after a few minutes and not restart. The 24v relay voltage...

Follow up for those who search. I decided to switch the relay wires to see if I could get another motor to work. It did! So, I changed the programming to point to new relay, and then changed it back. I wonder if the firmware update screwed something up.

I’ll try to be brief but thorough. Problems started when my main pool pump would shut off intermittently. Then, it would immediately trip the breaker. So, I knew it was shorted windings/bad motor. I bought a new motor and installed it. It would turn on for a few minutes, and then turn off. If I...
