Possible Causes

Tripped circuit breaker, Blown internal fuse on control board, Loose power wiring at terminal block, Faulty power switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Use caution when working around live electrical circuits. Turn off the breaker before opening the electrical compartment.

  • Check breaker: Verify the dedicated heater breaker in the panel is ON and not tripped. Reset if necessary.
  • Inspect power connections: Remove the heater's electrical access cover and confirm that line wires are tight at the terminal block.
  • Check internal fuse: Many Hayward heaters have a low-voltage fuse on the control board. With power off, remove and inspect the fuse. Replace with the same type and rating if blown.
  • Test power switch: If equipped with an on/off switch, verify continuity through the switch when ON. Replace if defective.
