Possible Causes

Failed temperature sensor, Loose or corroded sensor connection at control pack, Damaged sensor cable, Sensor not fully seated in heater well

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power at the GFCI breaker before accessing the control pack or heater.

  • Locate temperature sensor: On most Evolution Spas, the main water temperature sensor is threaded into or inserted into a well on the heater tube.
  • Check connection: Follow the sensor cable to the control pack and ensure the plug is fully seated and free of corrosion or moisture.
  • Inspect cable: Look for cuts, abrasions, or rodent damage along the sensor wire.
  • Reseat sensor: If the sensor is in a dry well, gently remove and reinsert it to ensure good contact. If threaded, verify it is snug but do not overtighten.

If Sn1 persists, the temperature sensor should be replaced with a compatible Evolution Spas thermistor. If replacing the sensor does not clear the error, the control board may be at fault and should be evaluated by a technician.
