Yes...they will replace the faulty sensor under warranty, but they would charge $115 for the service call. The part is covered under warranty, but the labor is not. While I can buy a new sensor and replace it myself for less than that, I may elect to let TCL come do it, and give the whole system a once over while here.

For about $200 you can replace your controller with a Hunter WiFi unit that won't irrigate on days that it's expected to rain. You'll never have to bother with a rain sensor again. The best part is that with a phillips screwdriver, you can change it yourself in about 5 minutes. The Wifi setup may take a little longer, but it's not a big deal.
