TakExit the board out and have it tested by an irrigation plumbing supply dealer.

If unit is new are the connections from box to valves tight and do any wires touch each other. I never had this problem with this unit.

Not sure what is wrong with your unit but I have the same one and all I do is hold the middle button for 4-5 seconds and light turns off completely.

My sprinklers (5) all get equal pressure. Maybe something is clogging you sprinkler line. Maybe try to flush your system?

I'm sorry Jose -I can't help you as I am not an irrigation expert.... My system is easy with only 3 stations. There might be something wrong in your programming....??

I am not sure, we do not have sprinkler. You should try to contact the manufacture

I have had many electronics' problems with Melnor "battery watering units" over more than 10 years. Finally switched to Orbit 62061N-91213 Single-Dial Water Timer. I'm on my second year with it and still OK.

I don't think it's likely to be the bulb, could be adjusting knob is slipping.this can be easily checked by pulling the knob off ( it's a push fit ) and turning the metal spigot by hand.

Turn the toggle to off position then turn on water the hose will expand; put your sprinkler on the end, prepare to get wet when you turn the toggle to on position! :)

That should not happen unless the little water sprinkler icon is visible on the display OR if the batteries need to be replaced.. If that icon is visible it means that your timer is currently on and allowing water to flow. I had an issue with some cheap batteries not working well in the unit. I have to replace them with name brand batteries for it to actually shut the water off. hope that helps

I have never messed with the rain delay setting on the panel. I just hooked mine up and nothing more. My rain sensor activates when it gets wet and "turns on". As long as it's on, the sprinklers don't run. When it dries out (hours and hours later), it turns off and at that point the sprinkler is no longer locked. In other words, the delay is built in to my sensor and no need to do anything more.

You can try and replace the fuse, the little glass tube. Same thing happened to ours. Hope that helps

You probably have checked this but just in case, there's a red switch in the back, make sure your water tank is placed correctly and the inlet/outlet piece's spring is moving freely. If you've checked those things already I would probably go for the diffuser assembly to make sure it's correctly attached. Hope I could help!

Mine is always flashing. I will check tonight and let you know if you can change it.

Dear Momo, This is our 2nd season with the Orbit sprinkler, my husband really likes it. It has served us much like a poor man's sprinkling system. I don't know if you have the manual that came with it, but if you read it and follow the directions carefully, you should be able to remedy the problem. I could send it to you, if you need it. For tech support contact: 800-488-6156 or 801-299-5555 or www.orbitonline.com Good Luck, Hope you get it to work for you because, it is a really good thing.

Not sure about that, but I was very disappointed in Melnor -- just could not get the unit to work properly and their tech support was basically indifferent. I just returned it, gave up and used another timer system which my sprinkler guy installed.

I had a switch that worked most of the time. Once in a while it would "stick" and a small tap on the side of the unit would free it up and it would run again ok for quite some time. However, on one of its stick times, I hadn't checked it for some time and my whole basement flooded. I changed the switch which I believe is a weak point in the system (after reading other people's posts).
