rkersh409 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I have a 1999 Morgan Dayton spa that I just rebuilt. When I got it from my parents he told me the blower was not working. While rebuilding the frame I took the spa pack out and took the blower off. Plugged a pigtail into the connector and plugged it into the wall outlet. Worked great. When I was done rebuilding I filled up the tub just to check for leaks. For the fun of it I hooked the pigtail back up and had the blower running for about 5 minutes. But now that I have my #4 wire run as 220V when I hit the blower button blower will run for about a second then trips the breaker. The spa pack was replaced 3 to 4 years ago from spaguts.com. Is it the blower going bad or the GFCI going bad? Or the control board? Is there anyway to test this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Spa Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 The wall outlet was NOT a GFCI? And the breaker it's now tripping IS a GFCI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkersh409 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 The wall outlet is a GFI outlet. Like you install in bathrooms. Has the trip and reset at the outlet but is on a normal non GFCI breaker. The breaker it's tripping now is a 50amp GFCI. When I hit the blower button it will run for a second before tripping.

Dnepr Dave Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 It sounds like your blower has a ground fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
