I asked this question so many customers. Why does not heat up my hot tub? I have people speaking through this process over the phone and gave them a list with information on how to test spa heating. I usually do not recommend that an end user tries to solve their spa. Working with electricity can be dangerous and the work can be fatal with electricity and water. It 's always advisable to contact a service technician for troubleshooting.That is, many people are more than capable of troubleshooting their spa heater and this guide will help.
Spa & Hot Tub Heater Trouble Shooting Guide
An easy to follow Spa & Hot Tub Heating Troubleshooting Guide. Troubleshooting a spa heater is a simple process if you have the right tools.
Note: This guide is intended for debugging of qualified spa services. Not recommended for spas to solve their spa.
ToolsYou must have:
A multimeter to check voltage and a clamp on amp meter, drag the item AMP. You can not just solving a spa heater, without these tools.
Multi-Meter Test: Used for terminal voltage oven.
Amp Meter: Used to attract amp review of the radiator.
You'll also need different tools. Screwdriver, pliers, wrenches, etc.
Note: Spa must be filled with water andto maintain normal operation, these tests
To test the resistance is necessary: the voltage of the heater
1: Switch the input voltage to the spa. (This means to interrupt power to the spa at the 'switch or disconnect).
2: Open a box of equipment, and locate the heating.
Third Open suspend heater spa heater terminals.
4: and make sure all cables and connectors are far from the terminal heating.
5: Open the filter housing and remove spaFilter. Replace the filter cover and secure to use.
6: And double check to ensure the area around the terminal heating, in order to have access to terminals with multi-meter probes without risk of contact with other contacts.
7: and remember that if you turn on power to the spa, you will work with 240 volts of electricity. Electricity and water do not mix.
8: attention and not near the terminal where it will work. Also make sure you're not kneeling or standing in water, whileTests voltage terminal heating.
9: Re-live at Spa and turn the thermostat to come running to the heater. Listen to see if it sounds normal functioning spa.
10: Turn the multimeter and plug-ins and probes of the meter by meter instructions Director. Will test voltage.
11 Carefully, a probe on one element of the terminal.
12 ° Tentatively, the second probe to the other heater terminal.
13 Read your meter for the voltageElement.
14: Remove and two probes, and note the voltage reading on the test.
15: Edit and input voltage to the spa. If "0" volt terminal to receive the heat, your problem is probably not the heating element. If you get the correct voltage to the terminals of heating, it is now necessary to amp draw with your radiator.
Check amperage on resistance
1: Switch the input voltage to the spa. (This means to interrupt power to the spa at the 'switch or disconnect).
2: Find aThe cables connecting terminals spa heater.
Third clamp, a cable that goes to your heater, your amp meter.
4: and make sure all cables are a safe and reliable operation.
5: Re-live and to raise and lower the spa heater thermostat to come on.
6: Verification and amp meter to see if the finals are created through the radiator.
7: Change and input voltage to the spa.
8: reading and note from your amp meter amplifier. If you get an amp reading from the radiator. Your stoveElement is in order. We must see if there are problems elsewhere.
* I f you have received the correct voltage to the terminals of heating, but has not received a final reading when the spa was active, the resistance is bad.
What do you do when the stove to make good tests during these tests, but not hot spring, during normal operation. Remember, step 5 in the test voltage. You remove the filter. Check the status of the spa run filter for 24 hours without filters to see if the heater spa normally. If the spa is heatingnormally filter, replace with new ones.
Now all Whirlpool / Spa is different. If you have a digital system, write down any error codes. The new digital systems for health centers today are a lot of changes for you if you know what you say, but we can, but for another article.
