    What to do if my Franklin Electric Controller shows high pressure?
    • D
      Doris WilsonJul 25, 2025
      If your Franklin Electric Controller is showing high pressure, first adjust the pressure sensor. If that doesn't work, disconnect the sensor wire at the PCB. If the drive continues to run, you will need to replace the drive. Also, verify the condition of the sensor wire; repair or replace it if necessary. The issue may be due to the pressure sensor setting or a shorted sensor wire.

    Why does my Franklin Electric SubDrive100 have pressure fluctuations?
    • L
      Lauren JamesJul 31, 2025
      Pressure fluctuations in your Franklin Electric Controller can stem from several factors. Make sure the pressure sensor and gauge are correctly placed and set. The pressure tank might be too small for the system flow, or there could be a leak. Disconnect power and check the pressure gauge for pressure drop. Insufficient pump submergence causing air entrainment can also lead to fluctuations; set the pump deeper or install a flow sleeve with an airtight seal. If the fluctuation only occurs on branches before the sensor, flip DIP switch #4 to 'on' (07C and newer).

      Kelly EllisAug 5, 2025
      If your Franklin Electric Controller indicates low pressure, start by adjusting the pressure sensor and checking the pump rotation. Also, examine the frequency at maximum flow and verify the maximum pressure. The issue may be due to the pressure sensor setting, pump rotation, or pump sizing.

    What to do if my Franklin Electric SubDrive100 runs on and won’t shut down?

      Dr. Tammy MendezAug 10, 2025
      If your Franklin Electric Controller runs and won’t shut down, power the system down to clear the fault and verify the voltage. If this issue occurs repeatedly, replace the drive. The cause may be a power surge or a bad component.

    What to do if my Franklin Electric Controller shows 'no water'?
    • J
      Jonathan JordanAug 14, 2025
      If your Franklin Electric Controller and motor are operating but there is no water, and frequency is max with low amps, check for a closed valve or a stuck check valve. If the frequency is max with high amps, check for a hole in the pipe. If the frequency is max with erratic amps, check the pump operation for dragging impellers. Check all connections. Disconnect power and allow the well to recover for a short time, then retry. The issue may be due to a loose switch or cable connection or gulping water at the pump inlet.

    Why is my Franklin Electric SubDrive100 Controller making audible noise?
    • J
      John GonzalezAug 19, 2025
      If your Franklin Electric Controller is making excessive fan noise, replace the fan. If the fan noise is normal, relocate the drive to a more remote area. If the noise is hydraulic, try raising or lowering the depth of the pump. Ensure the pressure tank location is at the entrance of the water line into the house. The noise may be caused by the fan, hydraulic issues, or plumbing.
