We have an Automatic Pool Cover installed on our pool. When I turned the key switch tonight to close the cover, a solid red light came on the key switch box. I reset the breaker and it worked for about 5 seconds. I had to continually go through this process approx a dozen times in order to get the cover closed. Anyone have any idea what might be causing that? I can't find anything in the manual or on their website. Thanks.

Update: Pool company came out to check into our issue. They believe that it's either a sensor or the cover motor. This was installed in 2012, so the motor is only 4 years old. Hopefully it's only a sensor, because I really don't want to drop $1200 on a new motor! Will update with more info once they can pinpoint the problem.

Yea, they are expensive. Mine is over 10 years old and will need replacing soon. Saving up! I hope your warranty covers at least part of it!
