We have a Hayward H350FDN heater approximately 5 years old, no problems until this year. I've day it kept heating past at temperature then shut off and looked without power. Breaker was OK.
It turned itself back on a week later so I turned it off and called for service. The tech said "these models are known for acting funky after rain. "
True, we had light rain last night, and heavy rain for the week before the problem started.
I suggested covering the unit with a tarp when not in use but he said the wasn't recommended.
We are getting the control board replaced.
Does anyone have this unit, and have you had similar issues? I have a GFI on the same breaker that I use, so I'd rather not keep it turned off all the time. It seems like a bad design if these malfunction after rain.
