MP10 "issue"

[Djplus1]

Not sure how many people have had this problem, but one of my MP10's is doing this thing where when the power goes off (Apex feed cycle shutting off outlet/power outage, etc) it takes much longer to turn back on and occasionally will not at all. lights flashing red, yellow and a white pulse. Reset procedures do nothing. Power cycling does nothing. And if/when it does come back on, the Mobius app always says it's out of sync, and to "tap here" to resync, so there is definitely "something" wrong.

 

I was just on a chat with Ecotech and they basically said to send it in for repair or buy a new dryside. So for giggles I dropped it on the floor from a few inches up and plugged it back in and voila it actually turned back on when I plugged it back in. Of course whenever I change my water or otherwise turn off this pump, there is a not small chance that this will happen again. I did buy this used, so not the end of the world if it needs repair I guess, but just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and did buying a new dryside completely resolve or is it possibly the controller part?

Have you tried running the head in a vinegar bath for a few hours? It could be as simple as calcium carbonate precipitating out on the bearing surfaces. Precip is faster on warmer surfaces and could interfere with startup.

I have MP40s, not MP10s, so my experience with the soecific model is nil but my experience with MP40s goes back to their first generation.

If you have to send it in, I've found their service to be excellent.
