How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning corrosion. Avoid breathing salt dust; use eye protection.
Steps to mitigate:
- 1. Clean surfaces: Gently brush off loose salt deposits from the control head and wiring. Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe surfaces, then dry thoroughly.
- 2. Inspect for damage: Check connectors and the control board for corrosion. If contacts are heavily corroded, the board or harness may need replacement.
