How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Disconnect power and lock out the circuit before inspection.

Visual inspection: Remove access panels and look for burned wires, scorch marks, or melted insulation near heaters, pumps, and the control box.
Check for leaks: Identify any water leaks that may be dripping onto electrical components and correct the leak first.
Isolate components: Qualified personnel can disconnect suspect components (heater, pumps) and test operation to identify which load is causing the trip.
Replace faulty parts: A shorted heater or motor must be replaced with the correct Hobart part. Damaged wiring should be repaired with proper gauge and insulation.
Professional service: Due to shock and fire risk, breaker-tripping faults should be handled by a licensed electrician or Hobart technician.
