How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing the control board.

  • Power reset: Remove power for several minutes, then restore. Sometimes memory errors clear on reboot.
  • Check model configuration: If a control board was recently replaced, verify that jumpers or DIP switches are set correctly for your Aquacomfort pool heater model and gas type.
  • Firmware/config reload: Some models allow reloading default parameters via a service menu; consult the service manual.
  • Board replacement: If F21 persists, the control board’s memory is likely damaged and the board must be replaced.
