How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before removing the topside panel.
- Step 1 – Inspect cable: From the equipment bay, locate the ribbon cable from the topside panel and ensure it is fully seated on the control board.
- Step 2 – Check for moisture: Look for condensation or water under the panel bezel. Dry gently if present and correct any cover or gasket issues.
- Step 3 – Replace panel: If the display remains unreadable, replace the topside control panel with the correct Tuff Spas model, sealing the new panel with appropriate gasket or silicone as specified.
A failing display will eventually prevent proper control of the spa and should be addressed promptly.
