Possible Causes

Failed heater element in Villeroy & Boch heater tube, Tripped high-limit or thermal cut-out, Faulty temperature sensor, Stuck-open heater relay on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing the heater or control pack.

  • Confirm settings: Ensure the set temperature on the Villeroy & Boch control panel is higher than current water temperature and that the spa is not in economy mode.
  • Check for error codes: Look for any heater-related codes (OH, HL, F2, etc.) and address them first.
  • Inspect heater: In the equipment bay, locate the heater tube. Check for leaks, corrosion, or burn marks at the terminals.
  • Reset thermal cut-out: Some Villeroy & Boch heaters have a manual reset button. With power off, press the reset if present.
  • Professional testing: A technician can measure heater resistance and verify voltage at the heater when a heat call is active.

Heater or control board replacement should be done by a qualified technician.
