Question
My ESP-6 system runs through all 6 stations ok, stops, then starts at #1 and goes again. On one occasion, even turning it off manually did not work--I had to turn off the electrical breaker to stop it. What goes here?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer
Hello Jack

This appears to be a common programming error that everyone occasionally runs into, and that is there is more than one programmed start time which has been stacked next to another one.

Try these steps to resolve your issue:
1) Select 'Program Start Times' with the centre dial and move the pointer to number 1.  Make sure you are viewing Program A by selecting from the A/B button second from the right beside the LCD display.
2) Note the start time.
3) Turn the centre dial to number two.  Make sure it is off (or has no start time programmed).
4) Turn the dial to number three.  Make sure it is off.
5) Select Program B using the A/B button and turn the dial back to Program Start Time 1.  Make sure it is off.
6) Repeat for the other two start times in program B.
