Display may go blank; external GFCI breaker or outlet trips immediately or shortly after spa is turned on.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Water intrusion in equipment bay, Failed heater element leaking to ground, Shorted pump motor, Damaged ozone generator or light transformer

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping GFCI. This indicates a potentially dangerous fault.

Visual inspection: With power off, open the equipment bay and look for obvious water leaks, burnt wires, or moisture on components.
Isolate components (advanced users only): A technician will typically disconnect the heater, pumps, ozonator, and other loads one at a time to identify which component causes the GFCI to trip when re-energized.

Because GFCI trips involve electrical safety, contact a qualified spa technician or electrician to diagnose and repair the fault.
