Question
My new Rainbird worked fine last year. I unplugged it when the season was over. The new season has started, and the water does not start. Normally, I could hear it make a "Clunking sound" and then the sprinklers would start. But no water at all.

The display screen shows it is watering, but no water.... My wires look connected, and the water valve is on. I was thinking maybe I need to reset.

Answer
Hi Jane here the possible causes.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Possible Solution
Automatic and Manual cycles do not
begin watering.
Water source not supplying water. Make sure the main water line and all supply lines are open and
operating properly.
Wires not properly connected. Make sure all fi eld wires and master valve/pump start relay wiring is
connected properly.
Wires loose or cut; corroded connections. Check fi eld wiring for broken, cut, or 搒kinned?wires and replace if
necessary. Check all wire connections and replace with watertight
splice connectors as needed.
Dial not set to AUTO RUN. Make sure the dial is on AUTO RUN梟ot any other dial position.
If you have a Rain Sensor, it may be activated. You can either wait until the Rain Sensor dries out, or disconnect the
Rain Sensor from the yellow terminals on the timer and replace it
with a wire connecting the two yellow terminals.
If you do not have a Rain Sensor, the wire
connecting the two yellow Rain Sensor terminals
may be damaged or missing.
Connect the two yellow Rain Sensor terminals in the timer抯 terminal
bay with a short length of 14 to 18 gauge wire.
An electrical surge may have damaged the
timer抯 electronics.
Press the reset button under the wiring cover. If there is no
permanent damage, the timer should resume normal operation.
You will need to input the correct time and date, but your watering
schedule should reamain intact.
