Check cell light is solid red … we cleaned the cell but it did not bubble with the acid

A solid red check cell light on the Solaxx RetroJet can indicate:

1. The cell has reached the end of its usable life.
2. Critical salt level—too low or too high.
3. The cell needs cleaning due to calcium buildup.
4. Damage to the blades or debris stuck between them.

If the cell does not bubble with acid after cleaning, it may indicate that the cell is no longer functional and has reached the end of its usable life.

I purchased the Solaxx Retro Jet RJ Saltwater Chlorine Generator and the check cell light is on. I spent over $200 on new filters thinking that was the issue but the "check cell light is still on". I pad $850 for this item through the Pool Factory in NJ. I can not fathom that this needs to be replaced already???What else can I do to try and fix this? Can the guts (what ever the slats on the inside) can be replaces so that the item might work again?
