Do you have a multimeter? Oh WOW! Thank you! I do have a multimeter but really don't know how to use it... See if I can get some pics. Tried today putting plunger in filter hole but still nothing.

mermaidsRfree Posted November 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Replaced the pump and controls about 2 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mermaidsRfree Posted November 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 It was working fine/not loud and then before a hurricane about 2 weeks ago (hardly rained...) power went on and off a few times. When turned on smelled electrical burning. Turned circuit off. When turned back on motor turned on for 2 mins and went off. Drained. Had an electrician over and he found the bad fuse which I replaced and refilled. He didn't find any burned wiring and I don't see anything either. Since refilled getting no noise or vibrating from motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Check the fuse again. A bad motor or relay will eat them like candy. Check the breaker voltage, they can be damaged by electrical surge. @CanadianSpaTechis our gecko guru, I'm sure he will have more to add.

mermaidsRfree Posted November 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 I'll see if I can figure out how to do that... Thank you so very much!! Do you think it could be an air lock? I filled it through the filter inlet but did keep hearing bubbling - but the motor isn't vibrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 An air lock could cause the current symptoms, but blown fuses and burning smells have a cause. I suspect it is electrical. Have you contacted your homeowners insurance provider? If caused by electrical surge, it should be covered. I have dealt with enough of them to know. In which case, don't touch anything else until an approved technician arrives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If dots go away and you get 240VAC to the heater adjust or replace the pressure switch. If they don't go away...call insurance...lol JK If they don't go away and based on what you have said about burnt smell and blown fuses pull the board and check on the backside for darkened or burnt areas.

Take them out of the equation 3) DO NOT USE PLUNGER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mermaidsRfree Posted November 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hey! Have an electrician coming out. Thought I'd give him the list gathered here from you wonderful folks of things to check. Relay Motor Breaker voltage Pressure switch I bought the spa used. How can I find out the manufacturing date - to pull up the right manual? Any suggestions on how to address air lock? Saw plunger - bad. And bleeding the pipe attached to the motor?? Much thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes.. back off the union at the front of the motor until you hear the air escape and water starts dripping and the jets start flowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mermaidsRfree Posted November 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Thanks so much! Electrician did a troubleshoot session with spapartsnet.com and decided the motor is bad. Power was good but nothing at all from motor. So, it's on order. Will try to get someone to give bleeding that line a try this weekend as pump will ship monday. Really appreciate your help - most kind of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenPen2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 I’m looking for an owners manual for a Morgan, Oceanside 830 spa. Can anyone guide me on where I can find this manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianSpaTech Posted September 4, 2023 Report Share Posted September 4, 2023 @PenPen2023 In the future please start your own post. There is usually little helpful information in a user manual. If you are having issue with your spa and need help post photos of the spa pack and the schematic on the inside cover if there is one. Post photos of the topside control as well if you need help programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
