Possible Causes

Failed high-limit sensor, Broken sensor wiring, Incorrect sensor resistance, Corroded connector on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power before working inside the equipment bay.

  • Identify secondary sensor: On many QCA Spas packs, the SN2 sensor is the high-limit sensor on the heater tube. Confirm by tracing the labeled wires.
  • Check continuity: Using a multimeter (with power OFF), measure resistance across the sensor leads and compare to manufacturer specs for the current water temperature. Infinite or zero resistance indicates failure.
  • Replace sensor: If readings are out of range, replace the high-limit sensor with a QCA-compatible part. Ensure the new sensor is properly seated and sealed.
