Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before touching the drive module or removing covers.
- Clean cooling surfaces: Inspect the drive heat sink and fins on the motor or control module. Use a soft brush and compressed air to remove dust and debris.
- Check internal fan: On models with an internal cooling fan, listen for fan operation when the pump runs. If silent or noisy, the fan may be failing and should be replaced.
- Improve ventilation: Ensure the pump is not enclosed in a tight space. Provide additional ventilation or a small fan if necessary.
- Reduce system head: Temporarily lower pump speed or open valves to reduce backpressure. If the pump runs without E13 at lower load, consider adjusting programmed speeds.
Repeated E13 errors after cleaning and ventilation improvements indicate a failing drive; replacement of the AquaFlo drive module or motor is recommended.
