Just a WAG, but My first suspicion is your internal battery has become very weak. It's down low and behind the control panel. Similar to a smoke detector when the battery is getting weak. Hope this helps!

Look for a 'master reset' in the manual. This should put everything back to 'default setting'. Then start over in your programming. Don't forget to save after you program your parameters. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/craig_3fa289bf857b1a3c

Are you having power blinks? A real problem in my area. If so, replace the lithium battery inside. A little more hassle to get to than the AA batteries (but not impossible), but quite possibly the problem.

Try new batteries. If the display is facing direct sunlight, you might try shading it, too.

I can't be sure without going outside (it's raining) and checking my own controller, but I'm thinkin' that the arrow pointing to "even" indicates that the program will only water on even numbered days. Can you change it so it points to event and "All"?

It sounds like you have a double program in your system. Suggest you take the battery out for several minutes and then reprogram it. Depending on how many zones you are running, I would shuggest you use the A zone and not do anything to the B and C zones.

It may be getting some trash caught in the valve, try purchasing a filter washer, commonly used on washing machines and use it to trap any sediment.

Do you have the manual? Just program two zones for the 'A' program. Don't need B and C. Set the time, date and all that, then set the days you want to water to 'On' . Then set the zones you are using like 1 and 2 and put in the amount of time you want it to water, like 30 minutes. That's all there is to it! Let me know... I'll help you.

if you have 24 Volts AC on solenoid and the valve does not open, but opens manually, then the valve diaphragm is bad. You can test this by swapping wire at timer with a known good one. If the known good one will not open valve, repair it or better replace it.. I have found that buying a new valve and swapping parts is cheaper than buying individual parts. If you decide to replace diagram when reinstalling screws place screw in hole and turn to left, you will feel screw rise up and then fall, this is position you need to in as the screw will back in the original threads and not cut ones. do not tighten screw fully down and repeat for the remain 5 and the tighten in criss cross pattern
