Irritrol KwikDial KD6 Erratic Programming: Reset First, Then Test

If your KD6 skips, flashes, and won't hold time/date — especially after running dry — reset it first.

Reset Procedure

Insert flat blade screwdriver into reset slot on back of panel. Momentarily bridge contacts. Display blinks → factory defaults.

After Reset

1. Reprogram time, date, programs.
2. Set all programs to OFF (no water days).
3. Wait for water to be turned on.
4. Then test one station at a time.

Self-Diagnostic Feature

If a valve wire/solenoid is shorted, controller will skip that station and flash "FUSE" + station number after cycle.

If Erratic Behavior Persists After Reset

Controller is faulty — replace panel or whole unit.
