duke1 Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 I have to take the blame, as I underestimate the effort to maintain a hottub. that said, I moved into a house with a hotspring spa system, it was working 3 months ago. I was busy with other house repair work so I only adjusted the temp down to 80C and leave it unattended. When I checked it this week, the hotspa was half full of cold water, I drained the water, cleaned up the tub, replaced all 5 filters, however, it's just not heating up at all. Model: hotspring spa Watkins Grandee GO (230V, 60Hz, 40A) symptoms: Control panel: Power button solid red, Ready button no light, no error code Jets: all working fine, I see steady bubble from the bottom of the tub Filter: the main filter was ready dirty when I removed it, replaced with all 5 new filters Refill: I put the hose down into the main filter to fill up the tub Control board: LIM OK solid green, HTR OK solid red Heating component: I feel water is flowing in & out, but the tube is not warm at all I did on/off breaker few time, removed the main filter and reset breaker, but as I said the heating component is not feeling warm at all, so I doubt it is working. What else I should try? thanks a lot! Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 Do you have a voltmeter? Test voltage across the heater terminals on the circuit board. Post results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post results. I appreciate your help to look into my problem On the heater relay board, that should be the voltage between H1 (black cable) and H2 (white cable)?

duke1 Posted December 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 H1 & H2 on the heater terminal board: 0V Red & Black on the main board: 246V I don't see any burn spot on the heater terminal board though, any other testing I should do? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDspaguy Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 It pretty much hs to be the relay board or main board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
