Clearwater Spas Failed or Water-Damaged Topside Control Panel

Topside control panel buttons are unresponsive or some buttons do not work.

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

Moisture intrusion into Clearwater Spas topside, Worn membrane switches, Damaged ribbon cable, Corroded connector at control board

Safety first: Turn off power before disconnecting the topside panel.

Inspect panel: Look for condensation under the display window or cracks in the panel surface.
Check cable connection: Unplug and replug the topside ribbon cable at the control board, ensuring correct orientation.
Dry panel: If minor moisture is present, allow the panel to dry completely before restoring power.

If buttons remain unresponsive, the topside panel likely needs replacement with a Clearwater-compatible unit.
