How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power if you suspect overheating of electrical components.

  • Observe run times: Check if pumps or heater are running continuously due to mode or sensor issues.
  • Inspect insulation: Open the cabinet and ensure insulation is not packed tightly against the heater or motor, which can trap heat.
  • Check ventilation: Make sure cabinet vents are not blocked and that there is adequate airflow around the equipment.
  • Adjust settings: Reduce filtration cycle duration if pumps are running excessively.
