Cut cord I purchased a used dolphin advantage cleaner at auction, the cord is cut about 8 in. from the unit, the rest of the cord is missing. I was just going to order a new cord, but after reading some post i read that the motors last only a few years, and this unit is mark mfg. 06. Is there anyway to test the motor before buying a new cord? Thank You Pat

Yes but it is going to be tricky. You will need to open up the power supply and pull the black and white wire from the cable socket. Note what position they were connected to for reassembly later. Now strip the cable back enough to get to the wires inside and connect them white to white and black to black. Turn the dolphin upside down (tracks towards the ceiling) and turn it on. It should go thru a series of motions lasting about 30 seconds and then stop. If it does it has just passed a self test and will likely work in your pool. For parts or to have this test and others performed in a service center contact us thru www.arrowpools.net using the dolphin button along the bottom of the page.

My Maytronics end that goes into the transformer pulled completly apart. No idea of which 4 positions the black and white wires go into. I tried 1 and 3, 2 and 4 but unti does not moved. Did not try 1and 2 or 3 and 4.
White to port 2 and black to port 3.
