914-6 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hi Guys, I'm a newbie on here, having a problem with my LA spa, it is not heating up. It is fitted with a laing infinity electrical haeter, it is only a couple of years old, and will not go above 22, what is wrong? If it is the heater element --how do I check this? I am not happy with spending £200 on a "stab in the dark" solution. PLEASE HELP BEFORE I THROW IN THE TOWEL. Fed Up From Andover UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart A Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Is it the spa which is two years old? If so it should be under warranty. When I brought mine there was a three years parts and labour warranty on the heater amongst other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult one this, because of the deal I did (no names no pac drill--perfectly legal though) I dont have a warranty. Yes the spa is about 2 years old. .I am more concerned in how to test to see if the heater is gone or is it something else. Any testing method--for the layman(no technical gargon please) will be gratfully recieved. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart A Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I would first get a voltage indicator and see if you are getting 230V output from the power pack to the heating element. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andob45 Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 I would first get a voltage indicator and see if you are getting 230V output from the power pack to the heating element. what is the water starting at temp wise? is your heat indicator light or icon on the topside control panel saying the spa is heating? if it is chances are it is getting voltage. the true test would be to see if it is drawing amperage. any more info you can provide would help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you find out what item had developed a fault? Started at 16.5 now up to 24 but it's taken 4 days. Has heating symbol on display panel. where do I test for power/amperage and with what? as I said "layman" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart A Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 My reply was for a very basic test. Rather than going out and buying any equipment to test it yourself it could work out cheaper, and safer, to call a local spa company to send out a person to check everything for you.
