How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power at the breaker before opening the control pack.

  • Step 1 – Power cycle: Turn off the breaker for at least 5 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge, then restore power and observe if Er3 returns.
  • Step 2 – Inspect control pack: Remove the control pack cover and look for burn marks, swollen components, or a burnt smell. Ensure ventilation openings are not blocked.
  • Step 3 – Check environment: Confirm the equipment bay is dry and not excessively hot. Improve ventilation if needed.

Persistent Er3 usually indicates a failing control pack that should be replaced with an AquaRest-compatible unit by a professional.
