Seasonyabroth Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 Hey again. I have a Sundance Optima Sentry 750/ 850. It was blowing the main fuse and I isolated it to the either the blower motor, heater, or circ pump. I installed a new heater today and instead of blowing the main fuse, it trips the breaker after about 5 minutes of running. The circ pump and blower are disconnected( don’t really need the blower) and I’m wondering if it’s tripping because the circ pump isn’t hooked up? Any help diagnosing this would be awesome.

CanadianSpaTech Posted October 18, 2021 Report Share Posted October 18, 2021 So hook the circ back up and see what happens. Post photos of the circuit board and the schematic on the inside cover. Plug circ back in and disconnect the heater and main pumps 1 and 2. Check that the circ is working as it should and there should be no error codes. Then when the spa is calling for heat test for 240V at the heater connecting on/at the circuit board. If it runs and you get proper power to the heater off the circuit board without issue then add the heater back onto the board and try again. Then if it is still going good add pump 1 and test, then add p2 and test. Let us know results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasonyabroth Posted October 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Thanks CanadianSpaTech. Disconnected everything but the circ pump and it tripped the breaker and threw a flo code. Guess the flow switch was getting enough water though it with the main pumps on. Will order a replacement and go from there . Hopefully the gremlins have left.

CanadianSpaTech Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Now disconnect the circ and start working backwards and plug everything BUT the circ back in one at a time and see if it holds. If everything else works then replace the part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
