My dinosaur of a spa is feeling poorly. it has been doing well, then recently was heating way above limit without tripping, and now the heater trips immediately. things I have identified: - disconnecting the heater allows the pump to turn on - the reset buttons on the control panel don’t seem to depress - drywells are not dry - capillary sensor wires have been damaged. Questions: If I open the black control panel, is there a way to manually reset high limit sensors or get the buttons to work? I’m happy to replace, but not sure how to isolate to confirm functionality. How do I address the wet thermowells? does the heater NEED replaced, or could there be another issue in the circuit due to the other issues identified?

I have a hot springs sovereign IA192516 someone suggested it’s an ‘89? ive read the thread and sadly I don’t understand the code. ive got it working but it appears to have a slow leak somewhere... @castletonia: you seem to be the serial code guru - can you help?
