  1. Thanks for the insight Dave. On the GFCI trips, the test button does work as expected last time I tried it. I can't recall if it is warm to the touch with certainty but I believe it is when in use. I have the pigtail in the GFCI box to the neutral bar in the box and the neutral coming into the box from the main breaker as well at the bar. Here is a picture of the inside of the GFCI box. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jspCs0zkL9BdScCd5jk65c1-0MkzM6Wt After taking the board out and ordering a replacement board I have to double think that the root cause was at the hot connection that melted the pass through terminal bar above it, possible causing soldering points to fail and not vice versa. I plan to replace all impacted wires including the lead ins and put it back together today/tomorrow.
  2. Heya! Heat stopped working on Sun dance Spa from '95, popped open the board to find some melted wires/board. Had been using it for the past 6 months no problem, a few GFCI trips that had no explanation. Breaker panel at house is good so I assume when I hooked it up I didnt tighten the nuts/screws enough and with enough use they became loose and arcing occurred? I have been checking and this is about as much information I can make a guess out of, any ideas on what went wrong and how to prevent in future if i replace the board? two pics here, looks like hot coming in was melted and hot going out in addition to the bar above it https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_ufuQrYu9zISTIyTkYydXBMbXVsREJJelVmZzFONlljazB3 https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_ufuQrYu9zIOFRUNVk1ZlFrVzV4SEhrVkRMa2x3N1l0N29Z Thanks
