serge9898 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hi, I have a Hotspring Jetsetter (Model J)The Red Power light is on. the Green Ready light is on until 82F. If I select 83F and temperatures above 83F, the Ready lamp is off. No blinking lamps.And the water remains warm (after a week it reaches about 90F)Thanks to Amos' help: We found a fried relay contacts. I fixed the relay board with a new relay. (The old relay still worked and the new one works...)I checked the voltage out of the relay board: It sends 110V to the heater.The heater doesn't heat much: Water out of the pump is just warm (~90F) not hot. But not completely cold.The 2 LED on the controller board are on (LIM OK & HEATER ON)I measured the resistance of the heater and I found 0 Ohms! (I was expecting 9 Ohms... R=V/I. 6kw) But I plugged the heater directly in the 110V with a cord I created: The breaker did not trip.What do I check next? I guess I need to get a better multimeter and do an amp reading on the heater right? Or The High-Limit Thermistor?Thanks for your helpPictures posted here: https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/wan/6099854006.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Hot Tub Repair Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 If there's no continuity through the heater, the element is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tperk Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Get a clip on multimeter to put on one of the 2 heater wires going to the relay board. Not sure what current should be for a 110V tub, but usually a 230V tub will draw about 18 amps when the heater turns on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
