Possible Causes

Failed Foridra valve motor, No power to control board, Blown internal fuse, Faulty door/cover safety switch (if equipped)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before removing covers. Use a multimeter only if you are comfortable working around electrical circuits.

  • Check power: Verify the outlet has power and the Foridra power adapter is plugged in and outputting the correct voltage.
  • Inspect fuse: Some Foridra boards have a small replaceable fuse. Check and replace if blown with the same rating.
  • Listen for motor: Start a manual regeneration and listen for any motor noise. If silent and power is present, the motor or board may be faulty.
  • Replace motor or PCB: If the motor receives voltage but does not turn, replace the Foridra valve motor. If no voltage is sent, replace the main control PCB.
