How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping GFCI; this indicates a potentially dangerous fault.
- Visual inspection: With power OFF, open the equipment compartment and look for obvious water leaks, burned wires, or moisture on components.
- Isolate components (advanced): A technician will typically disconnect the heater, pumps, ozone, and circulation pump one at a time to identify which component causes the trip.
- Dry moisture: If you find minor condensation, allow the area to dry completely before attempting another reset.
Because GFCI trips involve electrical safety, professional diagnosis is strongly recommended.
