How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Risk of fire or shock. Only qualified persons should perform live testing.
- Visual inspection: With power OFF, inspect the Everlast equipment bay for burnt smells, charred wiring, or water leaks.
- Component isolation: Disconnect the heater, then try powering the spa. If the breaker holds, the heater is likely shorted. Repeat with pumps and accessories to isolate the fault.
- Check for leaks: Repair any leaks dripping onto electrical components before replacing parts.
- Replace failed component: Replace the shorted Everlast heater, pump, or ozonator as identified by isolation testing.
