How to troubleshoot a Magnetrol Switch when the pump won't start?
If the pump won't start or stop, or the signal lamps fail to light, check the fuses, reset button(s), power switch, controlled equipment, and wiring.
What to do if the Magnetrol C60 mechanism fails to actuate?
If the Magnetrol Switch mechanism fails to actuate, there could be several reasons: 1. Binding: Loosen the magnet clamp screw and shift the magnet position, then retighten the screw. 2. Improper Installation: Ensure the control is installed within 3° of vertical. 3. Damaged Microswitch: Check the microswitch continuity with an ohmmeter and replace it immediately if damaged.
What to do if the Magnetrol C60 Switch float is not buoyant in the liquid?
If the float in your Magnetrol Switch is not buoyant in the liquid, it may be filled with liquid or collapsed. Replace the float immediately.

Mount control within 3° of vertical; do not insulate switch housing; equalize pressure slowly.
Rotate switch housing 180° if needed; remove cover; connect wires to terminals; ground housing.
Instruction tag provides dimensions; position control for desired liquid levels; support piping.
Adjust lower jam nuts on float stem to widen differential for trip/reset points.
Widening differential raises trip point proportionally; follow low level control steps.
Standard differential for single switch models can be field adjusted.
Check fuses, reset buttons, power switch, wiring; inspect for binding, alignment, continuity.
Check float chamber for liquid, valves, piping; inspect attraction sleeve for corrosion/buildup.
Keep control clean, inspect switch mechanisms, terminals, and connections monthly.
