Treborg Posted November 17, 2018 Report Share Posted November 17, 2018 I noticed the lights were out on the control panel so I checked the breakers both main and GFI 30 and 20 amp near the tub. All was good and nothing had tripped. I pulled the control panel and dissembled it and found moisture. I dried it out, resealed it, and reinstalled it. I turned the power on and now the control panel was working, I could turn on the jet pumps which I did for just a few seconds and it sounded funny so I removed the cover to find the water had drained. I couldn't find the leak so I began to fill it up and noticed the small hose connection that squirts water from the recirc line to the filter well was leaking. I fixed it and filled the tub up. I went to turn it on after filling and the control panel would light up, a green light marked LIM and a red light labeled Control Board Power on the main board would light up simultaneously then the red light would go out and the green light labeled LIM would stay lit. A second or so later the 20 amp GFI breaker would trip. I disconnected the control panel ribbon cable and it sill did the same thing. I checked all the grounds on the pumps and main board and found a loose ground wire on the control panel so I fixed that and still the same thing. Anybody have any ideas? It didn't start tripping the breaker until I had filled the tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castletonia Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Try disconnecting the circulation pump. It gets power almost immediately once the breaker is turned on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
