Possible Causes

Failed LCD or LED display, Loose ribbon cable inside control, UV damage to keypad, Low-voltage power supply issue

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before opening any control housings.

  • Power cycle: Turn off the breaker for a few minutes, then restore power to see if the display recovers.
  • Shade the control: If the pump is in direct sun, provide shade to reduce further UV damage.
  • Use automation (if available): If connected to a Zodiac automation system, you may still control the pump remotely even if the local display is bad.
  • Inspect internal connections: A technician can open the control module and reseat or replace the display ribbon cable or keypad assembly.

A failed display module typically requires replacement of the keypad/display assembly or entire control module.
