Possible Causes
Disconnected temperature sensor, Spa in priming mode, Sensor failure, Control board not receiving sensor data
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn OFF power at the GFCI breaker before inspecting internal components.
- Wait for priming to finish: After power-up, the spa may show dashes while in priming mode. Follow the manual to exit priming and allow the spa to start normal operation.
- Inspect sensor connections: Open the equipment bay and verify that both M7 sensor plugs are firmly seated on the control board.
- Check sensor resistance: With power OFF, measure resistance of each sensor. Replace any that are open or shorted.
- Power cycle: Restore power and confirm that the temperature now displays correctly.
If the display remains as dashes with good sensors, the control board may be defective.
