Feel free to get in touch
The Jandy R0988800 User Interface Kit is the genuine OEM control panel assembly for JXiQ and JXiQ ASME Compliant gas pool and spa heaters. Jandy's distributor catalog lists it as "UI complete" — it is the display and control face of the heater, the part you set temperatures and read service codes on.
⚠️ JXiQ Only
This interface fits JXiQ and JXiQ ASME Compliant heaters in models 200, 260 and 400. It is not a JXi part — Jandy's JXi and JXiQ electrical components are not interchangeable. Check that your heater's data plate reads JXiQ before ordering.
Is the Interface Actually the Fault?
A dead or unresponsive display is not always the interface. The JXiQ ignition controller board (R0988700) carries a user interface LED that blinks when it is successfully talking to the UI. Before replacing this kit, have a technician check it:
- UI LED blinking, display dead — the board is communicating, so the interface itself is the likely fault. This kit.
- UI LED dark — communication has failed, which could be the UI wiring harness (R0989000), the main harness (R0988900) or the ignition controller board (R0988700) rather than the interface.
- Display fine, lid cracked or clouded — you may only need the lid kit, R0989200, at a fraction of the price.
Checking the LED first is a two-minute job that regularly saves the cost of this kit.
What Ships
The complete user interface assembly. Jandy does not publish an itemised packing list for this kit. The lid is a separate part number (R0989200) and so is the UI wiring harness (R0989000) — do not assume either is in the box.

Installation and Safety
This is a component of a gas-fired appliance carrying line voltage elsewhere in the cabinet. Isolate the heater at the breaker and shut off the gas supply before opening it. Jandy's manual instructs technicians to "label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls" and to "verify proper operation after servicing."
Installation by a licensed, qualified pool heater technician is required, and Jandy's warranty is conditional on it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my JXi heater?
No. This is a JXiQ part. Jandy's JXi and JXiQ electrical components are not automatically interchangeable. Check the data plate on your heater.
My display is blank. Is this definitely the part?
Not necessarily. Have a technician check the user interface LED on the ignition controller board first. If it is blinking, the board is talking and the interface is the likely fault. If it is dark, the harness or the board may be at fault instead.
Does the lid come with it?
No. The lid is a separate part, R0989200. If your display works but the lid is cracked or clouded, that is the cheaper fix.
Is the wiring harness included?
No. The UI wiring harness is R0989000 and the main harness is R0988900, both separate part numbers.
Does it work on both natural gas and propane models?
Yes. The interface is common across the JXiQ family regardless of fuel type.
Can I fit it myself?
No. This is a component inside a gas-fired appliance, and Jandy's warranty requires installation by a licensed, qualified contractor.
What is the warranty?
Ninety days from date of retail purchase, per Jandy's Limited Warranty for replacement parts. Jandy's online exclusion specifically carves out parts, so buying online does not remove the cover.
Frequently asked questions
What is the part number for this interface?
Jandy lists this assembly under part number R0988800, described in manual H0780200 as the User Interface Kit. Quote R0988800 when you cross-reference it against your heater manual, the part currently fitted, or a parts diagram.
How do I confirm this fits my equipment?
Check that your heater's data plate reads JXiQ rather than JXi, and confirm the model is 200, 260 or 400. If your heater is not named on this page, send us the model and serial number before you order and we will confirm.
Does gas heater work need a professional?
Yes. Gas heating equipment sits under specific code requirements, and line voltage is present inside the cabinet. Shut off the gas and cut power at the breaker before opening the heater, and have a licensed professional carry out the work — Jandy's warranty requires it.
Is there a warranty on this part?
Yes. Jandy's Limited Warranty covers purchased replacement parts for ninety days from the date of retail purchase. Jandy's exclusion for products bought online specifically carves out parts, so buying this online does not remove the cover. The warranty does require installation and service by a licensed, qualified contractor. Keep the receipt and packaging until you have confirmed correct operation.
