Probable bad flow switch on Intellichlor IC60

[dradam]

James W. Can you decribe the wiring for the external temp sensor. Which switch leads are for flow and which are for temp. Does it matter which way the temp wires are wired? Could one tap into the existing temp sensor to an easy touch ?

Thanks

The green and white wires go to the thermistor. Polarity is not important.

The thermistor is in the flow switch.

If you have an external temperature sensor, you can wire to that instead of the one in the switch.

You can't connect to a sensor that's being used by another system.

This is not an approved repair. If you do it, it's at your own risk. It will probably void the warranty if there's a warranty left.

I don't recommend the external thermistor.

I recommend the original part for the repair.

Pressing and holding the “More” button launches the System Status Mode. When the lights finish scrolling, the percent lights indicate hours of usage in 1,000s. For example, if the 40% light lights, that indicates 4,000 hours.

Version 3.1 on adds the ability to determine system temperature. Pressing the “More” button after the display shows 1,000s of hours of usage, will show temperature as follows:

Lights…………….....………Temperature
No LEDs………….…..………Below 30F
40%..........................36 to 45F
40% and 60%............46 to 55F
60%..........................56 to 65F
60% and 80%............66 to 75F
80%.........................76 to 85F
80 and 100%............86 to 95F
100%.......................96 to 99F
100% blinking……..….over 99F
All LEDs blinking……...Sensor bad

Press and hold the "More" button until the lights scroll. A percentage light will light up. Note which one.

Then, immediately press and release the "More" button again and note which percentage lights light up.

This post was extremely helpful to me. I have an ic60, new model installed two years ago. I did the diagnostics and it is flashing cold water indicating bad Temperature sensor.
