I had this problem with ours last year. I replaced the water pressure switch and it began working fine. We later had a symptom that the blower would start but it would not ignite. The ignitor rod was corroded so I took it out and sanded it with some sandpaper---worked fine...until I dropped it trying to reinstall and it broke. Bought a new one and it works fine now.

Today's problem is related to the blower now.... it is always something, isn't it?!?

This heater wont start if the pressure switch is bad or clogged. Remove the pressure switch and clean it out really well, or just purchase a new one. It should only be $30-$50 depending on where you go to get it

"The pressure switch is open (is there supposed to be water pressure on the pressure switch so that it will close?)"

All switches need to be closed in order for this heater to start.
If you know you have good water flow (at least 50gpm) and your finding the pressure switch still open, it is either failed or clogged. Clean or replace the pressure switch.

Message 'LOW PRESSURE' on my Jandy LX pool heater. How do I check the fuse?

Check your flow and pressure from the pump first.... May need backwash, skimmer/strainer cleaning.. If you get an error message, chances are the fuses are ok.
