Tripping Breaker
Circuit Breaker Tripping
If your GFCI breaker trips and will not let you use the spa's functions, and the spa has been wired
correctly, you can determine the root of the problem through process of elimination.
1) With the breaker turned off, remove the panel below the topside control to access the equipment
compartment.
2) Trace the wire from the heater to the control pack. Unplug this wire and reset the breaker. If the
breaker remains on, your heater is malfunctioning. If it trips, continue on to the next step.
3) On the left side on the control pack, you will see a series of multicolored plugs aligned vertically.
4) Remove the first plug to disconnect that component.
5) Reset the breaker and see if the spa will power up without tripping the breaker. If it will not, repeat
steps 3 and 4, disconnecting each component individually until the breaker does not trip.
6) Once the breaker remains on, trace the plug of the last component disconnected back to its source.
This is the part that will need to be looked at for service.
7) If the breaker continues to trip, contact your dealer for service.
