Pump won't shut off

13 years ago

We recently had our pump repaired and when we had electrician come to reconnect, our pump will start but it will not shut off. We have the pro logic pl-p-4 by goldline controls. Could it be the control panel problem? The pump? Please help.

I assume it's a single speed pump. Is it below freezing outside? It could be the ProLogic system is in Freeze Protect mode.

Hey Scott
We're not freezing here in the 50's (southern state yea!) but we will have some colder weather in the 30's and rain, rain. Guess we are the lucky ones right.
The day we reconnected the pump it was in the 70's.
Our electrician says it's control panel, why would this work to come on but not shut off?
Thanks for your response.

It's likely that the bottom half of the zone 2 valve has a small crack which will allow it to run as long as water is in the main line under pressure. You will most likely have to replace the valve.

If you have the tools, I would check the battery and charging circuit. If this circuit is working you would not be able to run the engine until the battery was drained. You could run out of gas, but if it is working not drain the battery. Note: in the future, when the standard function to hot stop the engine, you can stop the motor by shorting the spark plug to the block with a screw driver. I have done this numerous times with small engines. In fact, on some of the older engines there was a strip of metal attached to the engine,, that you would push against the plug to stop the engine. I am new to dual cylinder engine, so you may have to short both plugs at the same time to stop that type of engine.

Jaguar Engine Won't Shut Off!

AZ is not the "normal." I'm aware that the car has been to Jaguar service several times. The dealer, however, is 1.5 hours away, one-way, so a routine battery replacement is reasonably obtained locally. When the battery issue continued after the first replacement swap, I advised having the car checked for electrical problems ... but per what I was told, the last swap with AZ, the battery ~6 months old, was leaking acid, wouldn't take/hold a charge. Perhaps an electrical problem causing the battery to overheat? The car isn't driven much, he has a company truck. It may stay idle for 5 to 6 days at a stretch.

Heat Pump Works but Fan Won't Shut Off

It's probibly either colder than the pump is desighned to operate in or the pump hasn't been able to recover from a frost up. Switch to aux/emerg heat and see it that helps. If not,call your service man. If yes,leave it on aux until sun defrosts coil then switch back to normal heat. Technicaly,it shouldn't do that but many do it anyhow. If it becomes a presistant problem,stay on emergence heat until this ice spell is passed and hvac contractors catch up.

At the panel, put the system in service mode. Did the pump stay on?

If Yes, the electrician likely wired the line side of the relay, not the load side as it should be.

I usually smack the control panel, to see if the pump stays on. If it stops, the pump relay need to be replaced.

If the electrician wired the relay wrong, chances are it would blow the breaker or not work. Unless of course he put the lines, and loads under the same screws (have seen it before).

Scott, I once saw a jandy system that was putting out 24VDC to the pump relay with the system in service mode, and the pump deactivated.

LMAO!!!
I've had many owners follow me over to the pool euipment and see me when I've done that. They ask "Why did you do it that way?" and I'm like it's a lot quicker than walking out to my truck to get a multimeter to tell me what the problem is.

I'd feel certain you need to replace the relay.

See ya,
