I have a Jandy pool system that I have been disappointed with for some time now. I would like to replace the whole thing, but don't want to get a new system that is not compatible with other components. I do most of the work myself. My pump has pretty much bit the dust and needs to be replaced...

You are right, I should have had them keep coming out until it was fixed. I think I was frustrated with their service and was tired of dealing with them. I had no idea it was going to be down this long and cost so much.

I have replaced the blower and it has a new capacitor on it. I had a warranty technician come out before my warranty was up. He finally showed up when I was not home. He called me and said it was working for him, that he just had to reset it. When I got home it did not work. It has never worked...

OK, This Jandy LXI Heater is putting me in the poor house. I have replaced both circuit boards, the Fenwal, and the fan and motor. The thing still will not turn the fan on. Anybody have a suggestion?

Yes. I replaced the fuse and went through all the steps with my meter. I found that the Fenwal was not sending any voltage to the blower pressure switch. The book said the eight pin wiring harness needs to be replaced. The only thing I could find that it was attached to was a eight pin adapter...

(bypassing the pressure switch)

When i jumpered the wires together I blew a fuse. Would that mean I have a short in the fan or circuit board?

I have a slightly different book, but thanks. How do you know if the pressure switch is bad? I guess adjusting it at this point wont hurt anything?

Yes Paul, I did mean at the Fenwal. So if the blower is not coming on, there is no reason for the diode to blink. OK, that makes sense. I am going to check my connections today and make sure all are clean and tight as Chris suggested. Where is the pressure sensor? What sensor is on the outside...

Thanks, I'll take the top cover off and go through all my connections. I'll let you know what I find.

I do get an error message after I turn it on and let the filter pump run for a few minutes. The error message is "Ignition Fault". There isn't any flashing on the diode though.

Thank you, I'll try that tomorrow. I am assuming the sensor is on the outside of the unit?

I have a PDA (remote) that we usually use. I have been trying to turn it on manually at the unit also (with the pump running). I am trying to heat the Spa, but there is an option to heat the pool also. Today, I replaced the capacitor, it still did not work. I took apart and cleaned my DE...

My Jandy LXI 400 heater has been quite cantankerous from the beginning. I would say since its installation it may have worked 25% of the time. I have had numerous service calls under warranty. The last service call under warranty, the technician called me and said it was working fine. He just...
