  1. I just had my control panel lose all power to it. It was off and when I cycled the heater circuit breaker it worked fine. Then a few days later, it did the same thing. I cycled the power and it never turned back on. I need to open the heater and start testing the circuits. It was bought dec 2007 and I have the so-called Totally Hayward warranty. We will see how good they are with honoring this warranty. Seems like this heater has its problems in the winter time.

  2. We are having the same problem. Pls. email me back, I’d like to know if you had any luck with Hayward also would likt to know your model and series # .I may have some important information to help you.

    • My Hayward H250 ED2 went power off the LED panel. I tested the module & transformer & they seemed ok. Calling in service. It has worked perfectly for a few yewars. Any suggestions would be great.

  3. We are having problems with our Hayward heater too. Hayward had a re-call of several different heaters. I know they were the “H” series.So you should check the CPSC web-site to see if yours is listed there. We had our heat exchanger replacement free by hayward, when I told them flames shot out the top of the heater, their first response was “your warranty was up.” The heater was 35 months old and only used approx. 35-40 times for our spa. At first they took no responsibility. BUT when I mentioned that I knew they had a big re-call on “other” hayward heaters and that I was going to contact the CPSC(consumer product safety commission). They had a new attitude and didn’t want us to report our problem and they then replaced it for free (which I believe was a $1,400.00 part) Now here we are again another 36 months after the replacement was installed,same problem flames shot out of the top of the heater and it won’t stay lit.We had someone look at it and they said now the entire heater is shot.This is a $2,700.00 replacement. Again we contacted Hayward and they again will pay for a exchanger, but I will be reporting them to the CPSC, as hayward could not tell us WHY this is happening.Because WHY would anyone pay to replace a heater that has caught fire every 3 years. It just doesn’t make sense.I beleive they probably have paid other with this kind of “hush money for parts” knowing they have had other complaints.So I am going to make it publicly known that hayward heaters only last approx. 3 years at which point they catch on fire.

    • I have a Hayward H300P1 propane pool heater that is having the same flame issue. The flames are shooting out the top of the heater almost three feet and the whole exterior of the cabinet is over heater. Who would be the best person at Hayward to address this problem. Thank You.

  4. I ahve just had to replace the core and not even one year old. Apparentley these heaters do not have a high heat limit switch or a low pressure flow shut off switch. They said the water must have been shut off to the heater. I do not think so. Looks like we are going to court.

  5. Our 3 year old H400 thermister went out, when the tech pulled the cover and water checked the install a water leak was shown to be coming through the core. Tech recce-mended replacing the heater @ $2500 (**&^%. ) he said all the water damage inside, jsut be better off to replace the whole unit. The unit is one month out of warranty.

  6. mira yo tengo 8 caldera las cuales tengo 2 con problema de placa no prende tu tendrias dicha placa para asi reparar las dos gracias
