Irrigation controller not turning on? Dit is wie je moet bellen
When your irrigation controller's display is blank or unresponsive, your entire sprinkler system is dead — zones won't run on schedule and your lawn dries out fast in summer. Common causes are a tripped GFCI outlet, a blown fuse in the controller, a failed transformer, or water damage to the control board. A landscaper or irrigation specialist can test the transformer output, inspect the wiring, and replace the controller or board if needed.
