I have a Dynasty Spa I bought from someone so I dont know how old it is its a AP-1400 it is not digital, it has the temp knob u turn. I had it about 2 weeks worked fine other than a little leak untill about a week ago. I was in it got out it was working fine, my wife got in it about a hour later and nothing was working. I dont know if they are all the same this one has 3 buttons up top one for air, lights, and jets (2 speeds) all are vacuum system. it is a 220 hooked up to a 50 amp breaker it wasnt tripped. I used a tester i have and it has power to the contactor its a 2 pole i think is what they are called. it has power in one side but nothing coming from the other. I bought a new one and same thing is going on.my question is is it suppose to have power on both sides of this or where should i check for a problem. there is no power anywhere else in the box i have tryin reset button on side and also the high limit and neither can be pressed so i think they haevnt been tripped. i have still been messing with this have a little more info i can bypass the contactor and hook the red and black wires together and everything works except the light, i have bought a new contactor didnt fix the prob could the heat limit reset or the gfci reset stop everything from working and it work again when the contactor is bypassed i can press the reset button on both and it doesnt affect or do anything
