Hot Tub not working?

Posted by on . 2 comments.


I have this hot tub that froze and busted a lot of the lines going to the jets. I replaced all these and turned the power back on with one of the gates still in the closed position. Not usre if I damaged the pump or what but I can't get it to do anything but blow fuses. The readout says it's overheating. I took the motor cover off and spinned the porpelers and they turned good. Also the heat senor has melted out of the inline water heater and was wondering if these are replaceable. THis unit has two pumps and it is a fourwinds model 700 maverick......Thanks for any help

    I think Four Winds use balboa spa equipment. The sensors are either sold as a combo with the Temp sensor and hi limit or separately. Makes sure the power is off when you change them. The pump would not get damaged from a closed gate valve. To trace the GFCI tripping or blowing fuses. start by unplugging each of the pumps/components until you find the one that is causing the trouble. I do bet f you replace the high limit sensor your fuse blowing will stop. Whew…! there’s a lot of to tell you. Feel free to call us toll free and I can work it through with you on the phone Sunday afternoon. 1-888-atkippy. Your using the SC-30 fuses right? "OH" will go away as soon as you replace the sensor. Off the top of my head I would say the senor will cost 32-40 dollars. The blown fuses are coming from too much amp draw. This has got me very curious. Do inspect all your wires thoroughly to make sure there are no exposed wires and also do look at your fuse holder for burnt marks. I am betting you might have a value 2000 system and the fuse holder is charred. A faulty wiring condition exsists so please use extreme caution.
