Pentair Warrior SE Power Supply Failure

[jnorin]

Looks like my pool cleaning robot power supply failed. No lights or response from control panel. Tried multiple outlets just in case

What has been the experience with others on this product? Any realistic expectation on lifespan? This unit is only 2 years old. ~$250 to replace it, can't find any repair options.

Thanks for any input or suggestions for troubleshooting or fixes.

It's the Dolphin Way (the Pentair warrior is just a rebranded Dolphin) ... once you're outside warranty, you're hosed. The major components - power supply, swivel cord, motor assembly cost, $250, $200, and $450 respectively. Buy that or buy a new robot, it's the only choice.

I will say this, if you are anywhere near the end of your 2 year warranty, give Pentair a call and see if they'll replace it under warranty. 2 years is lousy for a failure. Most of these robots will die of something catastrophic around the 5 year mark or longer, depending on how they are treated. Worth a shot asking them if they'll throw you a bone assuming you haven't asked already

The power supply is similar to a 29VDC power supply used in chair recliners. You can wire one up to your robot cable using the Maytronics Amphenol connector 5020011 (available on Amazon). MacGyver cheap basic setup no options you would need an AC timer for control on/off. Some electrical knowledge required.

I had my original fail out of the box. The warrantied replacement is going on 6-7 years. Basically, they either work or they don't...
