Possible Causes

Heater drawing excessive current due to partial short, Failing heater relay or triac, Internal wiring overheating, Scale buildup causing localized overheating and higher current draw

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the spa immediately. Do not continue to operate a unit that may have an electrical overload.

  • 1. Allow unit to cool: Let the pump/heater unit cool for at least 30 minutes.
  • 2. Visual and smell check: With power disconnected, inspect the pump housing for discoloration, warping, or burnt smell near the heater area.
  • 3. Descale system: If you are in a hard-water area and there are no signs of burning, run a descaling treatment through the spa following the descaler instructions, then flush thoroughly.
  • 4. Test again briefly: After descaling and cooling, reconnect power and run the heater while monitoring closely. If E14 reappears or the RCD trips, stop using the spa.
  • Next steps: The heater circuit likely needs professional testing with a multimeter. Contact Lay‑Z‑Spa support; the heater assembly or entire pump/heater unit may require replacement.
