I have 2 Jandy 2444 actuators (to change pool/spa mode jets/drains). They worked perfect last year. I had someone close my pool, then this year someone different opened it. And, the actuators dont work. I can hear them running/vibrating. I thought they were stuck in manual mode but couldn't engage them. He came out and said theyre both bad, $500 to replace both. So, i opened them up. I slid the 2 clear plastic pieces up (pic #1, which I assume puts it back in auto mode). The little dot in what I assume is the motor spins, but the plastic pieces and handle doesn't move. If I move it, the little actuator engages the little orange button on the micro switch and it turns it off, so thats working. Any idea? Odd both stopped working. Gears be an issue? Stripped them by rotating the handle when its not in manual mode?
