It may take a bit of playing to figure everything out, but it can be done with enough patience. Or, you can send it in for repair. It seems to run all my station programs correctly but the buttons are glitchy — meaning that the controller will frequently jump ahead in time, etc.
It is more irritating than anything else, but I am trying to be proactive in determining if this is a sign of a bigger issue to come? Would it be better to just get a replacement now? For example, one zone is set for 6 minutes and the sprinklers will run for 10 minutes.
Another zone is set for 3 minutes and the sprinklers will run for 10 minutes. Does that make sense? Any thoughts? If the timer IS trying to run the valve longer than programmed, then there is some issue with either the timer or the programming.
The way to tell if the timer is trying to run a station is by the little number in the top row of the display. If the top row of the LCD shows a little 2, the timer is running station 2. I would advise that you watch what the timer does when the 6 minutes you described is up; does that number go away, or is it still there?
My best guess is that you have overlapping programs. When the timer gets confused, it can do some very weird things…. Let me know how it goes; if your problem is solved, then great!

I have my RD malfunction last year and find out that was the fuse problem. After switch a new fuse it works fine.
This year when I turn back on, it fails again. I manually turned it on but nothing comes up. All my 6 stations are not responding. It is unlikely that all the wires broke in a sudden. And also tried reset factory but no luck. Can you please advise? Try touching the common wire to the left terminal while you touch the vavle wire to the right one as you did before. This connects the valve directly to 24vac.
Also double check the fuse on the board, and the breaker box to make sure AC is valid. I have a RDR, all of a sudden none of my sprinklers will work. I have made sure all valves are open, all wire connections are intact, done a factory reset and tried to manually turn on each valve through the dial none of the 8 valves will turn on. I can manually turn the solenoid and this will turn on each valve. All the water is on and I can hear the water hammering against the valves in the sprinkler box.
Any suggestions? If you have any questions or concerns, just let me know. Regards, Brian. I have 3 stations on my RD I tightened all of the connections, but still nothing.
Hi Douglas, This is most likely an issue with the solenoid; try unscrewing the solenoid on the valve a half turn or more. If water starts to flow, then the valve is okay, and you likely just need to replace the solenoid. Have a new kwikdial -KD6.
