StaRite 400 Heater woes....

[nickcasa75]

My heater is wired to a jandylink rs6 panel, and normally when I press the heater button, it turns on like it always has for years....until it didn't......

Here's where I am at...

1. Replaced the relay, no luck
2. The heater button on the panel does not illuminate when I press it, the panel is in service mode btw....
3. I moved the hot wire of the heater to another breaker that was not in use and when I flip it on, still no power on the heater control panel membrane, i verified 110v power is present
4. There are 2 low voltage wires going to the jandy panel, i'm guessing this is for temperature readings?
5. i do have a replacement membrane panel as mine is all cracked, I'm going to proceed with replacing that.

Aside from all of this, can anyone think of any ideas why this heater won't power on?

The 2 low-voltage wires going from the heater to the Aqualink panel are the fireman's switch used by Aqualink to control the heater.

The first thing to do on the STA-Rite heater is to disconnect the control wire and jumper the Fireman's switch to restore local control of the heater.

Report back what happens when you do that and try and run the heater from its control panel with the pump running.

The StaRite is identical internally to the MasterTemp in a round cabinet.

Update. I can't believe I missed this as it happened before. The water temp sensor wire broke, all is well now. Thank you.
