Jandy Lite 2 Limit Switch Replacement

Postby richieb » Sun 01 Nov, 2020 09:25

Hello All - I am still working on getting this heater working and I am very determined! I have the pilot working (previous posts and discussion on that) but the burners still won't fire. I can trace voltage all the way to the limit switches. It seems the limit switches are either faulty or have a short. Looking on youtube for instruction on how to replace them but coming up empty, is it as simple as gripping with a pair of pliers and pulling them out an replacing? I probably have one more week to work on this before I shut it all down for the winter, any advice is appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Try shorting them out temporary. If it then works order some new ones and see how they are connected

how would I do that? I am guessing you mean bypass but I am not sure of that process, can you advise?

Can you not see the electrical connections to the limit switch. You would just need a short piece of wire to bridge
Some limit switches have a reset button on them and just need pushing in after they have tripped out
