Hi
I have the FL-5 error code which usually means a brownout or low power condition. I have given it the 3 min to reset itself and still an issue. I have tested the incoming power at A and B and reads 123V and 123V.

Every reading from step 1 to 6 is not 24VAC but 27VAC, not sure if that makes a difference. For the pressure switch, the black wire is zero. I think that is because water was not running, but i do not think that would have anything to do with the FL-5 condition.

Any thoughts here?

Is your supply voltage 115 volts or 230 volts ? Is your power conversion plug set for 115 volts or 230 volts? If your power conversion plug is set to 230volts and your supply voltage is 230 volts, you cannot measure A and B separately to ground. You must measure between A and B and get 230 volts. If you measure between A and B and do not get 230 volts, then 1 leg of the 230 volts is open (has no power).

Thanks!
220 coming in

How do you check that? Put one probe on A and the other on B?
 
If you are getting 0 volts on the black wire out of the pressure switch, then your pressure switch is not closing. Check/clean your filter & pump basket. I don't know your area very well, but when I lived in Scottsdale AZ I had a constant problem with pine needles plugging up the impeller on my pump. Check anything that might impede water flow through the system.
 
Ok, if I hold the enter key for 7 seconds it clears everything... But in about another 7 seconds the FL-5 comes back. It is supposed to clear automatically once the power is restored.

All voltages that I can tell are correct, so this is confounding. The only other thing I can think of is that it may have had a blown fuse when I started this whole problem. It looked slightly burned so i tried to remove it but broke it getting it out so not totally sure. I do not see any voltage issues since replacing it, just cant get rid of the code.
