Polaris P825

[Patriot_Son]

Polaris P825 bought used worked gr8 1 season, started stopping mid cycle with flashing ‘I’ on control unit. Brought to local Leslie’s recommended replacing cable $240 and control unit $650. When inquired about what normally causes this issue, was told they normally recommend replacing both at the same time. When inquired about of the unit could operate with just a new cable, she said the tech that looked at it would have to get back to me, so waiting. Does this remotely sound correct to anyone? Or, am I getting the retailer run around?
Does anyone have experience with replacing the cable?

If a repair costs $240 + $650 = $890 I would junk the cleaner and call Marina Pools and buy a new Dolphin cleaner for less.

Trouble with P825

Having trouble with my P825 pool cleaner this year. It is about 4 years old and I have not had many problems with it. It was running fine when I first opened my pool, but the other day it stopped running and I was getting the 1-flash error code on the unit. I did all the troubleshooting...
