Valve actuators tripping breaker

[Nitramnayr]

Morning- both my automated actuator valves won’t move with the toggle switch in any position. I checked the small breaker in the top right of the Easytouch panel and it trips when I reset it and try to move a valve with the toggle switch.

I’m guessing it’s either something stuck in the valve (water flow seems to be normal though) or a pressure/micro switch that I read about. Any other ideas before I start ordering parts blindly!?

Thanks!

If the 24VAC breaker opens then something is wrong with one of the valve actuators.

Start by labeling each wire and unplug all the actuator plugs from their sockets. Reconnect them one at a time to identify the bad actuator.

Then examine the cable to the actuator for any nicks.
