Possible Causes

Tripped main breaker, GFCI/RCD tripped, Loose supply wiring at spa control pack, Internal fuse blown on USSPA control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: You are dealing with mains voltage. If unsure, contact a licensed electrician. Always turn OFF power at the main panel before opening the spa control box.

  • Check breakers and RCD/GFCI:
    • Locate the spa's dedicated breaker and any external GFCI/RCD device.
    • Reset if tripped; if it trips again immediately, there is likely a fault that needs professional diagnosis.
  • Verify power at spa disconnect:
    • Use a multimeter (only if qualified) to confirm correct voltage at the spa disconnect or junction box.
  • Inspect control pack connections:
    • With power OFF, open the equipment bay and control box.
    • Check that line, neutral, and ground wires are securely fastened to the USSPA terminal block.
  • Check internal fuses:
    • Locate any glass or blade fuses on the control board.
    • If a fuse is blown, replace only with the same type and rating; if it blows again, a deeper fault exists.
  • Call a professional if unresolved:
    • Persistent power loss or repeated breaker trips indicate a serious electrical issue requiring a spa technician or electrician.
