New, to me, 35k gallon inground. Easy Touch controller, IC60 cell, Ecostar pump.
Shut cell down from the panel while adding cyanuric. (In old socks hung in front of returns) Once 90% dissolved, I shut the pump off, attempted to restart cell and no lights.
Threw all breakers off and restarted panel. Threw pump breaker and it immediately tripped. Stuck on second try, but no power to pump and still no lights on cell.
Checked output voltage from pump relay, no output. Swapped relay, back in business. Pump display lit. Comm error on pump display, no serial, no version number. Ugh. Hayward's flow chart says the means new motor driver. Motor spins freely by hand.
Back to salt cell. One pin (black) completely burned off inside connector. Salt cell now lights after eliminating connector and direct wiring. Cell is free from obstructions.
Did the driver smoke the cell wiring or the other way around? Ideas?
