Possible Causes

Incorrect timer programming, Control panel firmware glitch, Failed real‑time clock circuit on PCB, Stuck relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the pump before opening any control covers.

  • Reset programming: Follow the Bestway manual to clear and reprogram the timer settings. Ensure current time and run durations are set correctly.
  • Power cycle: Unplug the pump for 10–15 minutes to reset the control electronics, then reprogram.
  • Check for stuck buttons: Ensure no timer or mode buttons are physically stuck down on the keypad.
  • PCB fault: If the timer still fails to operate while manual mode works, the internal timer circuitry or relay may be faulty and the control PCB may need replacement.
