Possible Causes
Loose terminal screws on control board, Cracked solder joints on relay or connector, Moisture ingress in control box, Failing transformer or power supply
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Isolate power before opening the control box. Avoid touching PCB tracks with bare hands.
Steps:
- Tighten terminals: Check all screw terminals (power, motor, accessories) and tighten gently.
- Inspect for moisture: Look for condensation, rust, or water marks. Dry the enclosure and improve sealing or drainage.
- Check mounting: Ensure the control box is not vibrating excessively, which can worsen intermittent connections.
- Board inspection: If you see cracked solder joints or darkened areas, the board should be replaced.
Intermittent faults can be difficult to trace; if basic checks fail, replace the control unit.
