Sprinkler valve problem

13 years ago

We replaced our timer 2 years ago and a couple of valves about 4 years ago. We have 6 valves connected to the timer. They all worked good until recently. The first valve to go on, only stays on about 30 seconds and turns off. It is suppose to stay on for 5 minutes. The timer is still going and after 5 minutes, the next station goes on and the rest run like they should. What can be causing this?

MS,

Try replacing the solenoid and see if this fixes the problem. If that doesn't work recondition the valve. If that doesn't work replace the valve. Make sure all connection from the rebellious valve are in good contact in the controller and at the solenoid. Maybe do this first. JMHO Aloha
