pogo3033 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 I just purchased a used RLX ZQ 381166. The problem I have is that it runs fine on low speed and heats the water but when I push the Jets button for high speed it trips the "mini-breaker" almost instantly. I can wait 30 seconds or so and reset it and run it on low speed and everything is just fine. What is most likely the cause of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreservedSwine Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Some likely causes: a bad mini-breaker, burned or overheated wiring inside the control box, a very long electrical service run (or an extension cord), or a bad pump.

pogo3033 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks, don't see any evidence of overheated wiring, my power cord is plugged directly into a 15amp house service, I could possibly replace the mini-breaker for a try at that or just soak in the hot water on low speed!
