    Troubleshooting PROBLEM: Valve will not close CAUSE #2: Debris in valve body or debris embedded CAUSE #1: Malfunctioning solenoid. CAUSE #2: Solenoid plunger is unable to seal exhaust Debris in valve body or debris port due to debris in the solenoid chamber or embedded in rubber seat disc is plunger stuck in plunger tube and will not preventing seat disc from...
  • Page 11 Troubleshooting PROBLEM: Valve will not close CAUSE #3: CAUSE #4: Torn diaphragm. Clogged inlet orifice is preventing water SOLUTION: from entering upper diaphragm chamber. Replace diaphragm. To check, open manual bleeder. If no water exhausts from manual bleeder, then cause is confirmed.
  • Page 12 Insufficient flow. Irrigation valves and adaptors have a minimum flow requirement in order to close. The larger the valve size, the greater the minimum flow requirement . A ¾” 600 adaptor has a minimum flow requirement of about 5 GPM. SOLUTION:...
  • Page 13 Troubleshooting PROBLEM: Valve will not open when energized CAUSE #1: CAUSE #2: Solenoid is not receiving power. Flow-control handle is turned all the way SOLUTION: closed (clockwise). SOLUTION: Place your fingers around the solenoid coil to see if it is receiving power. There should While solenoid is energized, turn flow- be a slight vibration and humming.
