Possible Causes

Failed high-limit sensor, Loose or corroded sensor connector, Damaged sensor cable, Incorrect sensor type installed

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the GFCI breaker before working on sensors or the control pack.

  • Identify secondary sensor: On Clearwater Spas, the high-limit or secondary sensor is typically mounted on or near the heater manifold separate from the primary sensor.
  • Check connection: Unplug and re-seat the secondary sensor connector on the control board. Ensure it is in the correct labeled port.
  • Inspect wiring: Look for damage along the sensor cable and ensure it is not routed near high-voltage terminals that could cause interference.
  • Power cycle: Restore power and observe whether SN2 clears. If it reappears, the sensor is likely faulty.

Because the high-limit sensor is a safety device, replacement should use an OEM or Clearwater-compatible part. If unsure, consult a spa technician.
