    LXi400 Ignition Fault

    Sorry for the (very) late reply. I re-ran the troubleshooting steps more thoroughly and the problem is the hi/low limit switches. New part on the way.

    LXi400 Ignition Fault

    Thanks. Heater is about 10 years old (and I've used it about 10 times over that period) I've already cleaned the flame rod (it was in good shape but cleaned it with some 0000 steel wool anyway). No obvious corrosion (see attached) but I get your point about the resistance. Current is...

    LXi400 Ignition Fault

    I have a Jandy LXi400 heater that gives me a "FAULT - CHECK IGN CONTROL" when I turn on the heat. I've read a few threads and followed the troubleshooting guide (https://www.parts4heating.com/v/vspfiles/Troubleshooting/LXiTS.pdf) which led me straight to Step13. Rather than getting 24VAC at the...

    Save me from my Jan(k)y PDA system

    A big thank you to those who replied and especially to @dfwnoob who provided his old board to me. I swapped over my PPD and am back and running.

    Save me from my Jan(k)y PDA system

    My Jandy-PDA system is over 10 years old. I've already had the mainboard repaired (Bob @ BP Engineering). That repair lasted less than 6 months. It's failing in the same manner as before (randomly resets, sometimes won't POST/start, random devices running). Bob wants another $150 to repair it...

    Jandy Aqualink RS4 (PDA version) - intermittently resetting. BP Engineering recommendations?

    Just to loop back on this. I did send my board out to Bob at BP Engineering. With a swift turnaround from Bob the refreshed board is installed and happy. Everything is looking good so far. I've no doubt I will need to upgrade the equipment at some point in the future but so long as I can I'm...

    Jandy Aqualink RS4 (PDA version) - intermittently resetting. BP Engineering recommendations?

    Hi, My Aqualink RS4 randomly powers off. Sometimes resetting the breaker brings it back to life, sometimes not. When it does come back it sometimes retains the programming but always forgets date/time etc. Equipment is about 12 years old. I've replaced the power distribution board previously...

    Fusion Soft 1400 - melted connectors

    Just wanted to loop back and thank everyone for the support. (I did try to replace just the relay on the power distribution board but my (de)soldering skills have always let me down). I'm now back up and running with a new power board, new cell and everything looks good. In fact; the new board...

    Fusion Soft 1400 - melted connectors

    Just to loop back on this thread. I did file a warranty claim with Zodiac for the failed cell and they honored it. They sent out a local tech with the replacement cell and cable. While he was installing it, he noted that the power distribution board was 'fried'. I'm wondering if that was the...

    Fusion Soft 1400 - melted connectors

    Thanks James. The SWG has a serial number and that is already registered with Zodiac. I've replaced the cell since the SWG was installed and that was what I was contacting them about. I called their tech support, provided proof of purchase date etc via email and they have registered it in their...
