Hayward AQR15 aqua rite salt water system

How did the Yellow and Orange wires get on the wrong terminals?

It is highly unlikely that it came like that from the factory.

The input voltage does not match the jumper configuration.

The jumpers are set for 230 volts and the input is 115 volts, so that won't work.

What breaker goes to the SWG?

Can you show the door label?

15 amp.

I had never opened the unit till this morning. So it had to have come this way. Doubt any of the cleaning people touching it as well.

Show a pic of the 15amp breaker.
Is that breaker single pole or double pole?

If double pole ...
Turn the breaker completely off and then back on again.

When you checked the input wires for voltage, did you place the meter probes on both the red and black wires at the same time or only one wire at a time with the other probe to ground?

 

[JamesW]

It's possible that the wires were installed on the wrong terminals from the factory, but it is very unlikely.

If you measured 115 volts line to line and you have a double pole breaker, then the breaker might be bad.

If you have a single pole breaker, then 115 volts makes sense, but the unit wouldn't work correctly with the wrong jumpers and the wires are black and red, which is usually 230 volts.

The first breaker is double pole and the second breaker is single pole.

I have yet to hear a Thermistor went bad on an AQR ver 1.59. Don't forget, the relay K4 bypasses the thermistor during normal operation. The orange and yellow wires going to the pcb are interchangeable (see the attached). The issue here is the 120VAC supply voltage. James is correct, the PCB is currently configured to take 220Vac. How are you measuring the incoming AC Voltage to the pcb?
Make sure the Volt meter is properly set to read AC Voltage. Measure the AC Voltage between Terminals #1 and #4 on the TB1. Do NOT measure the AC voltage against the Ground post.

 

[JamesW]

The orange and yellow wires going to the pcb are interchangeable (see the attached).

But, it is highly unlikely that they came like that, which implies that maybe someone has been doing something.

At this point, we need to know for sure if the power supply is 230 volts or 115 volts.

Note: Do, not change the jumpers "Just to try it", as that can seriously damage the unit.

Wanted to update everyone. There was a short in the pool pump. Once we addressed that issue the salt water system started working normally. Thank you so much !
