How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Turn off power and identify which function causes the trip.
- Isolate the problem: Turn on each pump, blower, and heater function one at a time to see which causes the trip (only once, for diagnosis).
- Inspect suspect component: Check the wiring and housing of the component that causes the trip for signs of damage or moisture.
Replacement of the faulty component (pump, blower, or heater) is typically required and should be done by a professional.
