Greetings:
I've got a 2003 Cal Spa that has been treating me well. I recently started to receive a flashing OH on the display which means the spa is overheating.
The first thing I did was to remove the filter and let it run. After about 4 hours the spa finally overheated. I replaced the filter reset the display.
I've found that setting it to economy mode at 102f will let it run for a few days before it overheats. Last night the spa went into OH mode. I couldn't reset it and it was very, very hot. When I was finally able to reset it (hours later!), the temperature showed it was 107 degrees.
If I understand it correctly, there appears to be two temperature sensors somewhere in the spa. It has a high limit sensor as well as a temperature sensor. I have a feeling that the high limit is working fine (I believe it shuts the spa down at 110f which it appears to be doing). I believe there is a problem with the other temperature sensor. I'd like to diagnose and replace, but I'm not sure of a) where it's at and what the proper voltage should be.
I've found a cable connecting the heating assmbly to the control board. It is a thin gray cable that has a lable on it that reads the following:
Sensor Assy 96" (3/8) 31" (3/4)
320298***200308260538
30337 Right
I have a feeling that this is the sensor I'm looking for but I'm looking for a little confirmation as well as info on how to remove it. Do I just pull it from the slit that it is in? It appears to be inserted into a "pocket" that is wrapped with insulation.
Any guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks!
