Micro Switch Timer Assembly 9000, 9100, 9500 Fleck 15314 ( V7-3A17D8-263 and newer D3V-6G8045-1C23-K )
Inner "activation" switch that turns on the timer motor to start the regeneration process.
My Fleck 9000 began continuously cycling tonight. Manual says a broken or shorted switch or timer is faulty. Is there a quick way to determine switch or timer?
*** Check with ohm meter, or disconnect switch.
It's usually this one, 15314, ( if the timer motor NEVER stops running ),
Both switches have the snap characteristic of a good switch. If I remove the program wheel so I can get at both switches (remember it is continuously cycling) and depress either switch, the cycling pauses until I release it. Pausing works for either switch being depressed, so do I assume that means the switch is operational??? If so, does that mean the timer is bad?
*** It's the SWITCH.
I could pull the wires and test continuity on each switch but that would be a pain.
* Not really. I think the pain would be paying some one else $ 100 to do it for you. I unplugged it at "service" and just after the bottom piston arrow moved to the new tank so I can use it until I can repair it.
** Good thinking.
** The only other thing that causes continuous regeneration is a water leak, that is running your meter down to Zero.But if that is not the case, then it's just the Switch is not "opening".. it's staying "closed".See this related Article in our Knowledge Base,
