Possible Causes

Incorrect time-of-day setting, Overlapping or disabled programs, Corrupted schedule memory, Failed real-time clock on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Use dry hands when operating the control panel; no need to open electrical enclosures for basic programming.

  • Set correct time: Enter the Sta-Rite pump menu and verify the current time and date. Correct if necessary.
  • Review programs: Check each programmed run period for correct start/stop times, days of week, and enabled status. Delete conflicting or overlapping programs.
  • Factory reset schedules: If behavior is erratic, clear all programs and re-enter them from scratch.
  • Observe operation: After reprogramming, monitor the next scheduled start. If the pump still fails to start, the internal clock or memory may be faulty and the control board may need replacement.
