HI,
Hoping someone can help Please?
I have a 2008 Hot Springs Jetsetter which was working fine until about a month ago when I went out for a dip, turned it on and stepped into cold water. I noticed that the Power light (red) and the Ready light (green) were flashing.
The circulation pump was not working and I remember listening to it a few weeks before and noting that it sounded a bit gravely or noisier than it probably should be.
So I purchased a new circulation pump, drained the Tub and fitted it along with two new filters and a new ions cartridge.
Filled up again and still the same problem.
I can hear a couple of clicks then the Power and Ready lights start flashing again.
I decided to purchase a replacement Hi limit thermistor and a replacement thermostat for the heater which I have now fitted, to no avail
I noted looking at the circuit board the:
(LIM OK) led was on Green
(HTR ON) - Not lit
(CONTROL UNPLUGGED) - Not Lit
I couldn’t disconnect the heater from the circuit board as I am not sure how the terminals work, to release the wires, but I put my meter across the terminals with the power off.
I got a resistance between the two terminals of 36 ohms, and noted there was a full short between them ie. Not showing open circuit.
Can anyone advise me of the next step please or do I go ahead and purchase a new heater which is even more expense when not knowing if it is going to solve the problem.
Everything else works fine as I had the main motor changed out last year when the 'wet end' bearing seals failed and jiggered the old motor.
And how do I release the heater wires from the two grey terminals on the circuit board?
I have been in lock down for the last 12 weeks due to Covid 19 an underlying health problem and the hot tub would have been a relaxing retreat.
Thanks in anticipation.
Stay Safe!
John
