thoma004 Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Hi all, I have a Hot Springs Hot Spot SX that isn't heating. I'm able to set the target temp and the spa will attempt to run and heat up but after a while I get the following error code while the jets are running - display reads ===== with 'ready' slowly blinking, with filter cycle icon in lower right lit and jet icon in lower left lit. I feel like I may need to replace the electronic pressure switch because it dripped slowly for a couple minutes when I first turned it on. Any guidance is much appreciated!

Hot Spring Official Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 I recommend replacing the leaky pressure switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thoma004 Posted June 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 well I replaced the part (and wire) and it is still doing the same thing - any ideas? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldera Spas Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 The next part you'll need to replace is the control thermistor p/n 72493 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreservedSwine Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Well, that's the part you HOPE is bad... Your code indicates the control thermistor is out of range. However, if the spa was made in 2011 or roughly the first half of 2012, there's also a good chance the control head (where the thermostat logic is located) is simply interpreting the signal from the thermistor incorrectly, the thermistor is fine, and you might need a new control head instead. (Which is no longer available, you would need a new control head and control box, which is considerably more expensive than a thermistor) If the thermistor doesn't do the trick, post the spa serial number, and the good folks from Hot Springs will point you in the right direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
