Older Ecotech Vortech MP40w stopped working

So the other day I went to move the pump and unplugged the power cord. Went to plug it back in and the motor was not spinning and the controller light tunr red than white I belive. I unplugged the controller plugged it back in and the light is now a solid blue-white light nothing I tried the hold down the mode and set and it never flashes or does anything just sits there with the blueish solid white light.

Unplug the unit for a couple minutes, make sure the dry side and wetside are properly aligned and then plug it back in. Sounds like a pump misalignment.

Red/white is a pump disconnect error. Does the motor spin without a wetside attached? How old is it? Did the controller or motor get wet?

You also might want to consider a reset.

Well I'm at a loss??? I'll link the experience I had with my very old Vortechs that ended up needing to replace the controller portion. Maybe something there will help.

So I believe its the controller finally was able to get the wetside spinning lights were flashing purple/blue white and so on tried soft and hard reset, then repowered it and watched the controller die. The light shutter off and now nothing, so I think I need a new controller and I guess I need to buy the whole kit and RF since its a Gen1/2 controller hopefully I can find one used not sure which one I need to get.
