Caldera Stuck At 115 Degrees

Posted by lisa@klunkmillan.com in lisa24, 19 September 2012 - - - - - - · 687 views

I have a Caldera Aventine Spa. It shut down a few months ago. After shutting off power and restarting, the panel continuously reads a temp of 115 but the spa is not heating and the jets do not activate.

We have drained the spa and replaced the Hi Limit Thermistor and Pressure Switch.
Temp still reads 115 degrees.
