Possible Causes

Seized rotor disc, Obstructed piston or seal pack, Motor receiving power but unable to turn, Mechanical obstruction in valve head

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately disconnect power to prevent motor overheating. Close inlet and outlet valves and relieve pressure.

  • Manual rotation test: With the cover removed and power off, attempt to gently rotate the main rotor shaft using the designated service tool. If it is stuck, internal components are seized.
  • Check for foreign objects: Inspect the valve head for debris, broken plastic pieces, or scale buildup.
  • Assess motor: If the rotor turns freely by hand but stalls under power, the motor may be weak or failing.
  • Replace valve head or motor: Depending on model, replace either the motor module or the entire valve head assembly.
