Possible Causes

Heater stuck on due to relay failure, Flow completely blocked through heater, High-limit sensor failed low, User set temperature too high in hot climate

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not enter the spa if water exceeds 40°C. Unplug immediately.

  • Allow cooling: Leave the cover open and allow the water to cool naturally to below 35°C before further work.
  • Check filter and flow: Clean or replace the MSPA filter cartridge and ensure strong flow from the outlet. Remove any obstructions.
  • Test heater control: After cooling, reconnect power and set a low temperature (e.g., 30°C). If the heater energizes and continues heating past the set point, the heater relay on the PCB is likely stuck and the PCB must be replaced.
  • Replace high-limit sensor: If H2 appears even with cool water and the heater is off, the high‑limit sensor may be reading incorrectly and should be replaced.
