@A. Lou Benassi My red light is solid and not flashing so the questions provided do not help me.

The red circle light on the control box (Power Supply) indicates a pump error for the Hayward AquaVac 600. This is often caused by debris stuck in the shaft, bearings, or impeller of the pump.

Hi, I’m having problems with my Hayward AV650 not working. I’ve taken apart everything to inspect and make sure all moving parts are not blocked which they all move freely. Thrust shaft spins fine.. I have downloaded updated firmware etc but when I press start on the controller nothing happens I get the red blinking light on the controller. Does the Motor Box Assembly, WiFi RCX36111065X need to be replaced?

A red blinking (flashing) light on the Hayward AV650 power supply indicates the unit is overheating and in "Limp Mode." The solution is to move the power supply to a cooler or shaded area and allow it to cool down. This does not indicate a need to replace the Motor Box Assembly, WiFi RCX36111065X.

How do I make that the Vac doesn't just go back and forth for about 3 feet

Why does the Vac only go back and forth a short way
