How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately turn off power at the breaker and do not operate the spa until inspected.

  • Visual inspection: With power off, open the equipment bay and look for burnt wires, discolored terminals, or melted plastic on the control board or heater connections.
  • Tighten connections: If you see slightly loose but not burnt connections, they may be gently tightened. Burnt components must be replaced.

Because of fire risk, any signs of burning or melting should be evaluated and repaired by a qualified technician.
