Hot Tub just shut off and won't turn back on?We just moved into our new home which had a hot tub on the back patio. It had the jets running off a timer I guess a couple times a day I guess to circulate the water.
Last night we decided to use it for our first time, I have never owned or operated a hot tub before, so we just flipped some switches turned some dials and then it was running and bubbling.
*I turned the dial a bunch, I guess I thought it adjusted the heater or something….
*Inside the equipment area there is an outlet so I plugged in mini fridge and a lamp… We were all having a great time and an hour later it all came to a stop when the light, and the fridge and the spa just shut off.
Today with a clearer head I realize I shouldn’t have plugged all that stuff into one circuit.
Hot Tub info:
1.) I have no idea how old it is, nor even how to determine the age of the spa.
2.) It is plugged into a regular 110v outdoor outlet. -NO GFCI on the outdoor outlet.
3.) The electrical section in the manual states:
110 Volt, 20 Amp, 60 Hz, 3 Wire.
1 Hots. #12 AWG (No clue what that means.)
1 Neutral. #12 AWG
1 Ground. #12 AWG
#8 Bonding required.
Troubleshooting thus far:
1.) It is plugged in. I have unplugged it and plugged it back in and heard a CLICK when I plugged back in.
2.) The breaker isn’t tripped, because the little pool filter continues to run off that line, and I checked the breaker box, and we used the same outlet to unscrew some panels off the tub poking around looking for hints. So, it isn’t that.
3.) If there is it’s own GFCI it is completely hidden somewhere? (The reason we took off the panels.)
4.) Pushed the reset high limit button a few times.
5.) Pushed the GFCI on that interior outlet behind the panel that I stupidly plugged in all the crap into.
That is 5 of the 7 suggested troubleshoot tips.
The last two say:
System fuse blown (Located inside of controller.) Of course we opened that, seen wires and 12 or so fuses but have no clue… Did not observe a breaker or GFCI inside there either.
&
Controller not plugged in. Plugged into what, how would it unplug?
I went to the parts guy at the pool store and he said to go directly to Spa Manufacturers, Inc, because it is their machine and that they are great and all that jazz, not that he wanted to refer me to someone else he just thought since they are close bye and they are good at what they do to go there first.
I did go but the parts guy was gone for the day.
So, any thoughts?
