Why do stations turn on when they are not supposed to on my Orbit Timer?
If your Orbit Timer's stations turn on at unexpected times, it could be due to several reasons. Firstly, high water pressure might be the cause, so try reducing it. Secondly, verify that you haven't programmed more than one start time. Finally, double-check that your AM/PM settings are correct.
What to do if one station is stuck on and will not shut off on my Orbit 91894 Timer?
If one station on your Orbit Timer is stuck on and won't shut off, it could be due to a faulty valve, in which case you should replace it. Alternatively, there might be dirt or debris stuck in the valve, so clean it thoroughly. Lastly, the valve diaphragm might be faulty, and you'll need to replace it.
Why do all valves not turn on with my Orbit 91894?
If all valves on your Orbit Timer fail to activate, the issue might stem from a defective or disconnected transformer. Ensure the transformer is properly connected. If it is, and the valves still don't turn on, consider replacing the transformer. Also, incorrect programming can cause this issue, so review and correct your settings.
How to troubleshoot one or more valves that do not turn on with Orbit 91894?

What to do if valves continue to turn on and off when they are not programmed on Orbit 91894 Timer?
If your Orbit Timer valves are continuously turning on and off unexpectedly, it could be due to overlapping schedules caused by multiple start times. Correct any overlapping start times in your programming. Another potential cause is excessive water pressure, so try reducing it.
How to fix an Orbit 91894 Timer that will not power up?
