How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Turn off power and investigate.
Steps to diagnose tripping:
- Verify breaker size: Confirm the breaker rating matches Jacuzzi’s installation manual for the heater model.
- Inspect wiring: Look for pinched, burned, or exposed wires inside the heater cabinet.
- Isolate components: A technician can disconnect the blower, transformer, or other loads one at a time to identify the shorted component.
Because this involves live electrical testing, contact a qualified electrician or Jacuzzi technician.
