Check power, display, start times, rain sensor and manual run first. If a station still fails, the wire, solenoid or controller output may be at fault.
Check power, programming and the affected zones
Check the display, power, seasonal setting, start times and rain sensor. Try a manual station. A controller that powers on while one station fails may have a field-wire or solenoid problem rather than a dead timer.
Inspection and repair steps
- Verify power, programs and sensor status.
- Test manual station output and field wiring.
- Repair or reprogram the controller or replace a faulty field part, then test each zone.

Watering and maintenance resources
Rancho Water shares controller guidance and recommends schedule changes as weather shifts. UC Master Gardeners also recommend checking pressure and hardware, since a timer cannot correct a blocked head.
Cost and next step
The repair cost depends on the fault, replacement parts, access and any digging or restoration needed. Ask for the proposed scope and estimate before work begins. Our sprinkler repair cost guide explains the main factors.
