So yesterday I went to clean the pool and I noticed neither the pump nor the swg were working. After the usual checks, I determined it was the swg since I was able to bypass it and plug my pump directly to the main timer switch. I ran through the troubleshooting and everything checked out okay until I get to step H ( If pins are good, check for 3 to 5 volts (DC) on pins 2 & 4, starting from the left). I'm not reading any power to the display board.
After reading multiple threads here and around the net, I see that the thermistor is usually the main problem. Thing is, in pretty much all those cases, the display still worked. Also I have the MF73T-1 2/18 thermistor which if I read correctly is one of the better ones, so I'm not exactly sure if that is the issue. My thoughts were to replace the thermistor and see if that fixes the issue but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Also it may be worth noting that I don't see any damage to the board. No burn spots, bulged capacitors and even the thermistor looks fine. So now I'm stumped and reaching out to the community. Is this a lost cause? Should I bother to replace the thermistor even though I can't seem to find the exact one? Is my only option to replace the entire main board?
I'm including some pictures of my main board. I can't seem to find this exact model either and maybe someone will see something that I missed or guide me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!
