Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before working on the control panel.

  • Dry the area: Check for signs of moisture around the keypad. Gently dry the surface and ensure no water is dripping from above.
  • Test with automation: If the pump responds to automation commands, the issue is likely limited to the keypad.
  • Inspect connections: A technician can open the control housing and check the keypad connector for corrosion.
  • Replace keypad: Install a Zodiac-compatible replacement keypad or control cover if the membrane is worn.

If keypad replacement does not restore function, the main control board may need replacement.
