grantwoodtx Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Guys new to the forum here and need some help on a Laars LT400N-L. I have 2 questions:- 1. The unit will light and run for hours sometimes to get the temperature up but even with setting the dial all the way to the hot side the unit will stop heating at about 90 deg F and then cycle on and off to maintain this temperature. It never errors out. I just replaced the temperature sensor, 135 and 150 limit switches and exhaust limit switch but this had 0 impact on the issue of it not getting hotter than 90 degF. Is the control module faulty? Any help will be great appreciated. 2. One a slightlly differnet topic are the LT and LX bezel with control board interchangeable?

PoolGuyNJ Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 If you have an automation system, I would look at that as the likely culprit. What year was the heater made? The bezel/Control Board assemblies are different part numbers. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that the bezels are different SKU's but they use the same wiring harness so in theroy they should be interchangeable shouldn't they?

I have the same LAARS model and have both of the bezels. They are interchangeable. Obviously, you should keep the plain one for backup.....I don't trust the LCD display to last forever. If you still have the same issue when you switch the controls then get another temp sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Clown Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I would check the by-pass. Your symptom is suggesting the by-pass isn't operating correctly. Make sure also that the heater is getting plenty of flow(clean filter,baskets, etc.). High limits usually report a problem(by opening), and are rarely the problem.
