What are the Causes of ECM Malfunctions?

Overheating

The electronic control module (ECM) is the brain of your grow room. If it gets too hot, it may malfunction. You should always keep the ECM at least 10 degrees cooler than the temperature inside your grow chamber.

Electrical shorts

Electrical shorts occur when two wires touch each other and cause a short circuit. These shorts can happen if you have damaged your wiring or if you have not properly grounded your electrical components.

Power surges

Power surges occur when the voltage spikes in your system. This could be caused by a power outage or a lightning strike. A power surge can damage your equipment and make it hard to start again.

Poorly installed wiring

Poorly installed wiring can lead to overheating and malfunctions. Make sure your wiring is securely attached to your device and that you have enough slack between connections

Bad connectors

Bad connectors can cause problems with your wiring. Check your connectors regularly and replace them if they become loose or worn out.

Improper grounding

Improper grounding can cause electrical shorts and power surges. Grounding is the practice of connecting metal objects to prevent electricity from flowing through them.

Dirty contacts

Dirty contacts can cause malfunctions. Clean your contacts regularly and use contact cleaner to remove any dirt or debris.
