Possible Causes

Stuck or failed keypad buttons, Damaged keypad membrane, Faulty communication between keypad and main board, Locked control mode from external automation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Check for control lock: Review the user manual to see if the pump is in a locked or external control mode. Disable external control to regain local speed adjustment.
  • Test buttons: Press each keypad button and observe if the display registers input. Non-responsive buttons indicate keypad failure.
  • Inspect keypad cable: Remove the keypad and reseat the ribbon cable or connector to the main board.
  • Try factory reset: Perform a factory reset to clear any software lockups.
  • Replace keypad: If the pump still ignores speed commands, replace the U.S. Motors user interface/keypad assembly.
