Sprinkler controller problem - Irritrol Rain Dial RD-600

I switch the controller to Run/Manual, swtich to a specific valve, put run time that valve and hit the Manual start button. Instead of turning on that valve, I get a flashing OFF. According to the manual this indicates the solenoid is shorted or there is some other electrical problem. Problem for me occurred on an Irritrol KwikDial KD9-INT -- flickering display + when turned to OFF, a flickering OFF on the display. Another person in this forum replaced the big power supply capacitor on the electronic board (in my case the board was labeled 102-2057 Rev B 22639561) which fixed the problem. Did the same thing on the KD9 -- i.e. the C4 220uf/35v capacitor was replaced and the problem was fixed. -- |

A Power surge can temporarily corrupt the EPROM on the unit. |
