Private Shrink Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 My tub is nearly 3 years old and has been working perfectly up until now. Recently, we've had a few incidents (every few weeks) where the temperature displayed starts rapidly jumping from 102 to 103 to 104 to 103...etc. and the heater will be clicking on an off. this isn't normal. Then we can either set the temp. way down for a few seconds and it'll settle down or turn power off then back on and it will be okay. does anyone know if this is the beginning stages of the heater or thermostat acting up? Probably many people wouldn't even notice such a thing until their unit fails, but our tub is in a sunroom that my wife sleeps in so the clicking on and off is immediately bothersome to her. Thanks for any feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any feedback. Did you buy the spa new? yep, bought it new almost 3 years ago I believe. Capri 880 Series...has been great, I'm just wondering if this odd thermostat functioning suggests total failure on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spa is under warranty more than likely its going to be temp sensor or circuit board i am leaning towards the board from what your telling me you should contact the dealer you got it from they may charge you a small trip fee but the labor and the parts are covered.
