riverwalker Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Heat indicator comes on when main circuit breaker is reset. Heat rises a few degrees and then goes out. Everything else is working fine. I have replaced circulating pump, removed main filter, removed flow sensor and connected the leads to bypass the sensor. This hot tub is in a rental cabin and guests coming in tomorrow are going to be plenty disappointed if no hot tub..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the top side not digital? If digital is the display showing the correct temperature? Could be bad temp or hi-limit sensor. To confirm you can temporarily switch the wires around; make the hi-limit sensor the temp, and the temp sensor the hi-limit. If the spa works again, don't leave it like that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otis_skywalker Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 My guess... It's set to economy mode. Press and hold the up and down temp buttons, then set to f3, It should stay on and heating in that mode... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guests punching bottons randomly like monkeys typing a novel. Factory gave us the answer. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
