RDspaguy Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Post a pic of the circuit board. Do you have a multimeter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cusser Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 What's the tub voltage? Do you have a cover? Is this tub new or new to you, and did it ever heat up OK and something just went wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDspaguy Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Gecko controls. @CanadianSpaTechis our gecko guru. Are there any errors on the display? Test for voltage across the heater terminals. If no errors and no voltage it is likely a circuit board issue. Remove board and check the back for burns. What you describe with the heater is called "dry fire" and could gave damaged the board, sensor, and/or pressure switch. It looks like your high limit sensor (lower right of board, thin strip with yellow tag) is not installed on the heater but just hanging in the box. That could be your issue, but should cause an error code if I am not mistaken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.watts Posted February 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Hi Thanks for your help, not had chance to check due to work at the moment, but my lad said when you press the lightning symbol on the panel ED05 and ED 06 was showing?

CanadianSpaTech Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 You will first have to put the Hi Limit tape (Bottom Right) of the circuit board back under it's holder and then give it a try before you go any further. Remove the butterfly nut and place the Hi Limit tape under the holder so it makes contact with the heater tube and reattach the butterfly nut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
