Question
I have an Irritrol KD6 that came w/the house from when it was built.  It keeps saying "FUSE" and my zone 5 keeps blinking.  I try to run that zone and no go.  I have no idea how to change the fuse...  where are they located?

Thank you so much for your help.

Craig.

Answer
Hey Craig, the kwik-Dial controller or the KD6 has and internal circuit breaker that will skip the zone if there is a short detected. It does this to protect the circuitry. The reason it says fuse 5 is because it has detected a problem with valve (zone) #5. There is no fuse to replace. What you need to do is determine if you are having a problem with the wiring to valve #5 or the solenoid is shorting out on valve #5. Simply find your valve #5, and disconnect both the wires from the solenoid. Now turn on valve #5 and see if it still gives you the "fuse" display. If it does, then the problem is in the wires. If it doesn't, then you need to replace the solenoid. A solenoid is easy to replace, it simply will un-screw from the top of the valve, and you screw a new one on. Go to www.irrigationtutorials.com and this website will show you how to replace a solenoid. Good luck and have a great day.
