failed start/run capacitor replace it with the correct item

To reset the pump; You will need to hold down all four speed buttons for a few seconds, then release them, then push select twice, you will see "0" highlighted, push the arrow up button to "1" then press enter, then shut the power down to the pump for about one minute, then power it back up and your pump should be back to factory settings.

The Pentair should not be controlling the fire bowl ignition, only the power to the fire bowl. The ignition will be controlled by a separate system designed for the bowl. The spa heater is controled by the pentair via a water temp sensor and the heater has it own onboard ignition system. Have someone qualified look at the fire bowl, sounds like a flame sensing issue.

Check the control fuse on the power interface board and also the fuse inside the silver box. The control loop will prevent the heater from coming on if it is open.

What model Pentair? Master Temp.........?

It may be more of a mechanical problem than programing. There is typically a switch on the motorized valve itself. It can sometimes be hard to see or find. The switch is a three position switch. In the center is for remote use while switching it up or down will allow you to bypass the remote to open or close the valve. My guess is it could possibly in the open position so no matter what you tell it to do in the programming it is always open.

no capacitors either work or they don't work being electronic and subject to surges and spikes they can last many years or just months there are various qualities of capacitors but even that is no guarantee of long life you can check if the capacitor is correct by getting oll of the details off the plate on the motor( volts, current , rpms , hertz-phase , cycles etc and with that information take the failed capacitor to an electric motor repair shop and they will know if it was correct or not the requirements are correct voltage and mica/peka farads required to start/run the motor there is a permissible range but outside that range , the capacitor is wrong

Make sure your voltage is correct at motor connections. Also make sure the pump is not bound up. The voltage needs to be checked at the motor NOT the breaker.

Check your control fuse. If the control fuse is bad replace it w/2 amp fuse. The old board could have blown the fuse. If the fuse blows again DO NOT increase the fuse size. Instead find the short in the control circuit.

You need to replace the "membrane pad". The pad is separate from the control board. Sort of like a keyboard on a computer.

The cell will blow the fuse if it is bad. If it is a new unit call Pentair for warranty.

this could be a number of issues....

Pump motor could be bad, capacitor could be bad, relay could be bad, or a circuit board issue.

Check the breaker for the filter pump, turn it off and back on.

Press the reset. It tim on the outdoor control panel and wait for a few minutes as it reconfigures.
Then try to turn it on again.
If that doesn't work
If you know how then test the leads at the motor once you have pressed the filter button.
Otherwise you probably need a professional to check on it.

I don't think that 126 is an error code but more likely it's showing that as the temperature.

A new temperature probe will probably be the fix.

There is no way to retrieve a passcode, it is a personnel feature chosen by you and not something you can just bypass, if you could what use would the passcode be.

take it to a motor repair shop but with sparks and smoke it is a fair bet that it is burnt out
