When to Call a Professional
If you measure consistent over voltage from the utility, call an electrician. If the VFD drive appears damaged or the error persists after checking wiring and power, contact a Jandy-certified technician for VFD replacement.Frequently Asked Questions
What does error code 2 mean on a Jandy pool pump?
Error code 2 indicates a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) over voltage condition, meaning the voltage supplied to the pump's drive is too high.
Can I reset a Jandy pump error code 2 myself?
Yes, you can power cycle the pump (turn off breaker for 5 minutes) to reset. However, if the underlying voltage issue isn't fixed, the error will return.
What voltage should a Jandy pool pump have?
Most Jandy pool pumps run on 230V or 115V. Check your pump's label. Voltage should be within ±10% of rated (e.g., 207-253V for 230V).
Is a power surge protector required for a Jandy pool pump?
While not mandatory, a whole-home or dedicated surge protector is highly recommended to prevent VFD over voltage errors and protect electronics.
How much does it cost to fix error code 2 on a Jandy pump?
DIY fixes (checking wiring, installing surge protector) cost under $100. Professional VFD replacement can cost $300-$800 depending on parts and labor.
