Hello All

Thanks in advance for the help. My AquaRite panel went dark this week. I am a novice on these boards but I have replaced the limiter in the past. I couldn’t find a parts diagram that shows what I think is the problem. However I am sure the experts here can confirm if this is the cause or the effect. In the attached picture it looks like the red piece (technical name) is burnt out and needs replacing.

Would appreciate if someone could point me to the part name and whether this may indicate a larger issue that needs to be resolved.

Thank you!
Brian

Repairing My Aqua Rite PCB (GLX-PCB-RITE) that was Damaged by Lightning

Note: I’ve had many requests asking if I have any of the parts (thermistor/Ametherm SL32 2R025 BigAMP current inrush limiter and the Littlefuse V150LA2P varistor) required for this fix. I now…

The smaller ones are V150LA2P made by Littelfuse. They are the little red discs that flank both sides of the black terminal strip on the lower left of the PCB.
 
Hello All

I ordered the recommended part and started to take out the panel when I found additional damage elsewhere. I found one of the connections had fried enough for the line to break and the fuse along with the surrounding area is charred.

Seems like the panel got fried pretty well. Since the damage is more extensive than I originally thought, is it worth continuing the repair or should I replace the board?

Your expertise and time is appreciated!

Brian

I would probably try to fix it, but I would tend to recommend replacement if anyone asked.

It really depends on what you feel comfortable doing.

There is always some risk of more damage being done if you do the repair.

So, it's really your choice to take the risk or spend the money for a new board.
