How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and do not use the spa until the issue is resolved.
- Verify temperature: Use an external thermometer to confirm actual water temperature.
- Inspect sensor mounting: Ensure the temperature sensor is firmly attached to the heater tube or fully inserted into its well.
- Power cycle: Turn power off for 5 minutes, then back on and monitor heating behavior closely.
If the heater continues to run past the set temperature, the control board heater relay is likely stuck and the board should be replaced immediately.
