Question
I have an old rain dial to control our outdoor sprinklers.  It has been working great until recently.  The problem(s) I am seeing (they started at around the same time) are:
1. valve run times for program A and C suddenly can only be turned ON or OFF (and not a run time).  program B still allows me to set a run time
2. program B seems to have a "memory" of an old start time and keeps starting at that time.  With start time 2 and 3 turned off, when I change start time 1 from 8am to 8pm, it runs at *both* 8am and 8pm.

Any idea what is going on or do I need to replay the console?  Also, assuming I do need to replace the console, which console should I get (I know hardie was bought by irritrol and just to confirm, based on my part number 670301, is this now a Irritrol Rain Dial 6).

Thanks in advance!

Answer
Hey Yach, I would save the headache of trying to fix this controller, and just buy a new panel for it. You are correct, the controller you need is a Irritrol Rain- dial 6 station controller. Just so you know, you can buy just the panel(console) and not the whole controller. Thanks and have a great day.
