I ended up buying a new one. Let me know if you get your fixed. I kept the bad one. Good luck.

Worked fine for 2 yrs and 1 month so far this year. Had it on a daily 1 hr cycle. Worked like a charm but now it won't even turn on. No LED. Tried different power receptacles. I just unhooked it from the pool to try and troubleshoot, but not sure where to start. Would the LED even turn on if...
