ultra2000 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 We just bought a used Sundance Sweetwater 2003 Bahia the spa worked perfectly before it was moved to our house. We had all of the electrical hooked up by a licensed electrician. When we turn the spa on the display flashes 355 then 888 with the heat light on then flashes to the current water temp of 65 degrees. Nothing else seems to work the light will turn on for a minute if you hit the button but then turns off right away. The first pump will turn on for a second if you hit the button but then turns right off and the second pump turns right off. Not sure what to do any advice would help. Thank you Quote

Thank you First you need to check the voltage going in i have seen many times they have the breaker wired wrong if you have 220 volts the second thing is unplug the sensor harness from the circuit board and plug it back up if you try this and this dont work let me know and we will dig deaper but im willing to bet it is wired wrong I hope this helps.

Hi, we have 240 volts across from line to line. Is that correct? Quote
otis_skywalker Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 yes 240 is right. when the pumps shut off does it keep going back to the 888 then 355? or does it say anything else on the screen? Quote

I had a spa repair guy come out today. He told me the problem was the circulation pump. He told me the cost to replace was about $220 including labor. He told me the circulation pump went out and thats why the pumps would only work for a second and then stop and reset the display to star up again showing the 888 and 355. He also told me that why the light will not stay and that the circulation pump also controls the heat. He said it is common for the circulation pump to go out because it runs 24/7. If any one has any experiance with this please let me know. I hope that what he said is right and that our spa will work after the part is replaced. Quote

Bad diagnostics... if it keeps restarting, and saying that 888 355 stuff he's way off track. great price on the circ pump and labor though! Quote

Skywalker is right bad diagnostic did you try to unplug the sensor harness from the board? Just unplugged the sensor harness then plugged it back same thing happens. Hear some clicking noise then the display flashes 888 then current water temp then 355. Then if I hit pump one bottom it turns on for a split second and then stops and the display start flashing again. Thanks for all of your suggestions I really appreciate the help Quote

ultra2000 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Posted February 22, 2009 Thanks so much for all your help!!! I am going to replace the board. It is a blown capacitor. My spa is a 2003 sweetwater bahia I am pretty sure the board I need is a 6600-288. Does anyone know if that is the correct board I would hate to order the wrong one? Once I order a new board and install it will I need to do anything else? How much should a new board cost? I have looked online and they seem to range from $200-$300. I called my local Sundance dealer and they want to charge me $375. Please let me know if ordering online is a bad idea? Are there any online sites that are better than the others? Thanks again for all of your help. I can't wait to get my spa fixed!! yes 240 is right. when the pumps shut off does it keep going back to the 888 then 355? or does it say anything else on the screen?
