How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power if you smell burning or see signs of overheating.

Steps to improve equipment bay cooling:

  • Check for obstructions: Ensure insulation or stored items are not blocking ventilation openings around the equipment bay.
  • Verify pump run times: Confirm that pumps are not running 24/7 due to a stuck relay or incorrect programming.
  • Inspect for debris: Remove leaves, dust, or debris that may be restricting airflow.

When to call a technician: If components show heat damage or pumps run continuously without command, professional diagnosis is required.
