I have a raypak 2100 pool/spa heater. I turned it on today for the season and got the ROL, rollover sensor service error. I checked the sensor and it passes current and I also bypassed the sensor and still the ROL message with the number "22" next to it..

poolguy810 :

Hello, how can I help you today? did the heater fire up before you got the rollout error, and is it a resettable sensor with a push button in the center?

Customer :

No it hasn't fired up since we closed it down in September (Massachusetts) and didn't fire or spark the automatic ingnition. The sensor is not a push button, but I removed it and it has zero electrical resistance. I also bypassed it with no change in the ROL message.

poolguy810 :

as long as you're positive that you're bypassing the rollout sensor and it's not a resettable unit, then that's going to be a circuit board issue unfortunately. The board won't recognize that you've jumped it and if you jump over it with a jumper wire and take it out of the circuit, shut power down to the heater for a few minutes to reset the code error. if it still comes back up when you try again, then there's a problem with the board. as a last resort, check the board itself to make sure all connections are secure and haven't corroded over the winter and are making a bad connection to the board.

Customer :

Ok thats what I was thinking and I will accept your answer and I am satisfied. Any Idea on the best way to get a new board and how much it should cost, and do you think I can do it myself , I am pretty good with this stuff.

poolguy810 :

yes, the board is easily installed, just move one wire and harness at a time. you'll need the model number and maybe the serial number to match up the same board as raypak has changed the design a few times over the years, but once you put the info in on any website, you should be able to locate one, probably run anywhere from $150 to $250 depending on who has it

poolguy810 :

whenever you're done with me you can just hit the ACCEPT button to close the question, or feel free to ask anything else you need to, happy to help out
