*When servicing always unplug machine. You need to start by making sure the sprayheads are clean. They tend to get limed up and restrict flow. Also you may want to check the liquid level probe for the tank. Remove the top panel and on the tank you will see a brwon plastic piece with a pink wire attached. That is the liquid level probe. Remove it from the rubber grommet and make sure it is not limed up. It can be cleaned with sand paper or simply by scraping it with a knife. Do the same with the thermostat bulb. It will be a smaller metal tube that goes into the tank. for this you will need to use a screw driver lightly and pull the grommet out of the tank and clean the bulb at the end of the tube. The thermostat is located behind the front panel behind where the containers sit. There should be 5 screws but most likely only 3 or 4 holding it on. Remove the panel and make sure the knob is turned as far right as possible. Hope this helps. WWW.MidstateBeverage.com

A 'LO' error code
for a Hayward heater is a limit string open error. If the limit string opens
the heater shuts down and goes into lockout. Automatic restart is 2 minutes
after the error condition is corrected and the limit string closes.
The limit string is
a series of switches designed to turn off the heater if air or water
temperatures exceed a safe operating limit.
The problem may be
faulty a switch(es) but is far more likely to be a system condition the
switches are reacting too that needs to be corrected. Low flow of combustion
air due to obstructions around the heater or the vent; low flow of water
through the heater allowing too high a water temp; Poor venting or sooted-over
heat exchanger causing flame rollout; inlet and outlet hose connections
reversed; these are all conditions that should be eliminated if they exist.
If you are not
familiar with these switches or the conditions described you may want to
consider calling in a professional. Hayward can refer you to someone in your
area who is. Call Hayward at 908-351-5400 or try the website locator found here. It is likely to
still be covered under warranty.
