Possible Causes

Failed LCD or LED display module, Loose display ribbon cable, Low control voltage to display, Water damage to keypad assembly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing the display or keypad.

  • Check backlight: In a dark environment, see if any faint backlight is visible. A lit but blank screen suggests logic/display failure.
  • Inspect connections: Remove the display/keypad and reseat the ribbon cable or connector to the main board.
  • Look for moisture: Check for condensation or water inside the display housing. Dry thoroughly and improve sealing if needed.
  • Test pump operation: If the pump still runs on schedule, the main control is likely OK and only the display is faulty.
  • Replace display/keypad: Install a new U.S. Motors user interface/display module to restore visibility and control.
