starstarstarstarstar 		Tried switching
by: Anonymous

Tried both the red/black and even the brown/white. Brown and white shorted out and switched the power supply off. Red/Black didn't appear to do anything. Motor is still blowing down. Got to figure a way to switch the polarity...

starstarstarstarstar 		Spliced into wires
by: Anonymous

Thanks. Cleaner is labeled as 24V. When I spliced into the harness I have a brown and white thicker gauge wire showing 24v. Then there are a black and red one, thinner. I am assuming I don't switch the brown/white and try the red/black? Any other suggestions?

starstarstarstarstar 		Possible reversed polarity?

There's a good chance the motor is DC driven. There may be a short in the wiring that reversed polarity and caused the motor to spin the wrong way.
You could try cutting the wires to the pump and reversing the connections.

I am not all that familiar with your model but the power supply part number indicates a part for Blue Diamond which is a DC (direct Current) electric pool cleaner

It's actually a Klean a Tron, but uses Aquabot parts. Power supply is PN AS07120-SP. it is strange bc it seems to run fine, it only spins in the opposite direction and pushes water out the bottom instead of creating suction...
