Hunter XC Controller Failure: Solenoid Click but No Water—Test with 9V Batteries

Hunter XC Shows Zones Running but No Water; Manual Valve Operation Works

Solenoid test

Solenoid test

  1. Disconnect the two wires from a suspect solenoid.
  2. Connect three 9 V batteries in series (27 V) to the solenoid leads (see photo).
  3. If the valve opens, the controller isn’t sending voltage—controller is dead.
  4. If the valve doesn’t open, the solenoid is bad.

Send the controller to Hunter Industries for repair or replace it.
