  1. I'm thinkin' it will take the corresponding amount of days to reach that.... If that.
  2. Is Or 07 a program code or something? When I hit the temp up button, this code comes up on the display, and if I hit the temp down button while it shows, I can go down to 06, and 05,... etc.
  3. That is the only code I have seen on the display. The fault starts that the tub is heating from what I have been told is just the pump. The tub should have 2 speeds on pump 1. Hi, and low, which is the "heating" cycle as well. My tub, is circulating, with the pump showing off, however, when I hit pump 1, it comes on, and the icon arrow is steady. When I hit it again, the pump shuts off, making me think pump 1, low speed is not working, which again, will affect the heating. After being plugged in since Wednesday, it has gone from 51 to 89 last night, so the only heat is coming from the pump. I took off the skirt cover yesterday, to check things out, and the silver heater element tube was not even warm.....
  4. I have looked at all I can access, without taking off the "motherboard" which the relays are attached to. I can see the relays, or fuses, clipped on there, but without removing the board, I can't get them off. I think I will just call the repair guy, and go from there. If it was something simple, and I was able to get at it, and do it myself, I would have, but I am getting in beyond my capabilities, and as soon as I think its one, thing, I get informed it could be another, not to complain. I had numerous replies on here, and really do appreciate them, however if it takes a person on site to identify the problem, which it looks like it will, I guess that is the safest, and best route to take, regardless of cost. I do not wish to start replacing things, on the assumption that is what is wrong, only to find I still have the problem, or have made things worse. If it was a Norton motorcycle, or a BMW, maybe I would stand a chance, but it being a Spa, ..... Thank you for all the help, and I will advise what the problem was, after I get the bill for it...
  5. Have reset it, still same codes....
  6. Its a 2003, Arctic Spa, with 17 jets, 1 pump. I had the wiring done by a certified dude, who specializes in Hot Tubs.... I've been messing around with this tub for 5 days, every night, and can't get much accomplished, as nothing I can see is un hooked, burnt, or missing. I think I will just call the Spa Tech people on Monday, and get out my Visa. Thanks for everyones help, I will turn it over to those who get paid to do this, instead of me bumbling around, and getting more and more frustrated. V
  7. Are they really that top secret, those crazy codes?????
  8. Hiya folks. My tub, which has a few issues right now, with heating the tub, is giving me a code on my top display that looks like " Or 07 " I have no idea what that means, nor do I have any code reference book to identify it. What would that mean, if anything? Anyone?
  9. I am getting a code on the display "Or 07" it looks like. Does that mean anything to anyone?
  10. Ok, thanks a bunch. I am new to all this stuff, and I guess I am in a panic, having bought the tub used, and already replaced the control panel after being told everything works. Buyer beware I guess,..... The pump is doing what I call circulating, which is running at a "low" speed, and it has from what others on this site has said, warmed up just from the pump, without the heater. It was at 84 last night, after running since Wednesday from 51. When I hit the pump 1 button, the jets come on stronger than the circulating cycle, and the icon is solid. If I hit it again, it goes back to the "low" one that I figure is circulating. I will do some more digging tonite, and check out underneath after work tonite, to verfiy model, and pump number etc. I am crossing my legs, that its just the heater element, and not the pump.... Thanks for the help, its giving me some good things to check out before I call someone in....
  11. Yes. I see. The pump is running gently (just circulating), which would be on low then? If it were indeed on low, it should show on the panel, under pump 1 a flashing icon no? As it sits I seem to have only the cirulating level, which I assume is always running, and a high pump 1, with a continual icon under it, after I push it once. If I push it again, it goes back to what I think is the circulating one. ????
  12. How can I check the capcitor for pump 1....?
  13. You could be on the right track. The pump does have two speeds, and it has to run on low speed for it to be able to heat. I thought you said earlier in your post that the pump was running right. Keep in mind if you go out there and it is running, that would be running on low speed. Then you would only have to hit the button just once for it to be on high speed. When I look at the tub, the water is circulating gently, and the panel has no arrow under pump 1. I hit pump one, it gives me the arrow icon, and the jets come on. the icon is solid on this setting, and when I hit the pump 1 button again, it shuts off, both pump, and icon. This gives me the idea that the pump is not doing what is supposed to, and not heating properly because pump 1, low speed is not working. If it is, it should be a flashing arrow icon, after I hit it once, and solid if I hit it again, therefore, indirectly giving me 3 settings on pump 1 (off, low,high) correct. This would also be affecting the filter cycle, as well as not heating correctly if I am on target. Is there any tests I can do myself do verify that pump 1 low is toast, other than verfiying that it is a 2 speed pump,..... Your help is helping me cross stuff off here, for sure But if it isn’t running, and you hit the button once, and it doesn’t turn on, that could be what it is. Maybe the low speed capacitor isn’t working, which could cause it not to heat.
  14. According to what I have avaialble for a manual it states that the pump should have 2 speeds. I should hit button 1 for low speed, and hit it again for hi speed. I hit my button once, and all I get is one speed, if I hit it again it goes off. I am wondering if my pump is not working right, and low speed is shot. This would make sense, as the spa is supposed to heat on low speed RIGHT? Does any Arctic Spa have just one speed? I can get the model number later today I guess, that would make it easier. ....
  15. Hmmm seems real slow to me. If it's about 4-5 KW heater it should get 4-7 degrees per hour. Maybe the element is starting to get bad? Should take about 10 hours to get it to temp from 50 degrees. Thats what I was thinking, from a basic standpoint. Is that a common occurance, that it just kind of peters out over time. I would think that it would, however most reports on this site are saying if it heats at all, its something else wrong, but it only makes sense that the element is starting to croak. I have had 4-7 degrees in 12 hours, but not anything better than that..... I have not felt the heater inside the cover to verify it is hot, but would I really get 28 degrees out of just running the pump, with out the heater on? if the heater icon is on solid on the topside, then you need to check to see if there is draw by the heater. you need to clamp one of the hot lines going to the control pack. you should get between 22-25 amps with the heater on and pump 1 running on low speed. If you are only getting 4 amps then the heater is not drawing. So then you need to check and make sure you have power to the heater lugs. these are the lugs at the bottom left of the motherboard. you should have 240 volts to the lugs when the heater icon is on. If you dont then you may need a new motherboard. if you do have 240 volts then you most likely need a new heater. Thanks, I will check this out in the next few days, Thanks again, V
