Appendix 1 – Rotor Troubleshooting Guide 

Problem 

Possible Cause 

Correction 

1.

 

Cracked rotor case 

High pressure 

Minimize water/air hammer. Check the system’s pressure regulating 
valve. Replace case if needed. 

 

Improper installation 

Check installation for over tightening. Check case for chemical 
damage. Replace case if needed. 

 

Freeze damage 

Make sure to winterize system properly. Blow out water line if 
susceptible to freezing temperatures. Replace case if needed. 

2.

 

Failure to pop up 
and/or seal properly 

Sand or rock particles may have 
wedged between the bearing 
guide and the riser 

Pull the internal assembly and clean. Brush any rocks or debris away 
from the head of the rotor. 

 

Low pressure 

See solutions for Problem #6 “Low Pressure.” 

 

Jammed or clogged selector 
assembly 

Clear or clean poppet, or replace selector assembly. 

 

Tube crimped or pinched, or 
blockage in tubes 

Make sure tubes are not bent or pinched. Check tubes for blockage. 
Clear tubes, if needed. 

 

Solenoid coil not working 

Check solenoid for proper operation. Replace if needed. 

3.

 

Failure to turn on 

No power to solenoid 

Check for power to solenoid. Check wiring controller / decoder. 

 

Selector/PRS set to OFF 

Check selector and PRS. Set to AUTO or ON, as desired. 

 

Jammed solenoid plunger 

Clean out debris around plunger. Replace plunger assembly,  
if needed. 

4.

 

Failure to turn off 

Cracked selector housing 

Check and replace housing. 

 

Selector/PRS set to ON 

Turn stem to AUTO or OFF, as desired. 

 

Diaphragm failure 

Replace valve assembly. 

 

Valve housing cracked 

Replace valve. 

 

Jammed solenoid plunger 

Clean out debris around plunger. Replace plunger assembly,  
if needed. 

 

Plugged valve filter 

Remove valve. Clean and reinstall filter screen. 

 

Debris under plunger and selector 
housing “volcano” 

Clean out area around selector volcano and plunger. 

5.

 

Freeze damage 
(Hydraulic rotor will 
not open. Water 
continually drains at 
controller while 
attempting to open 
valve). 

Failure to winterize 

Make sure to winterize the system properly. Repair and replace 
damaged parts as needed.
