10 Jan Why Does My Breaker Keep Tripping?

SPA TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING: The electrical circuit must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor and approved by a local building or electrical inspector. Customer must provide a disconnect in the fixed wiring. Failure to comply with state and local codes may result in fire or personal injury and will be the sole responsibility of the spa owner.

BREAKER TRIPPING CONSTANTLY

1. FOR NEW INSTALLS ONLY, FIRST CHECK THE WIRING OF THE GFCI BREAKER.
   • THE NEUTRAL WIRE TO OUR SPA MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE GFCI BREAKER, NOT A NEUTRAL BUS BAR.
   • IF NEUTRAL WIRE IS NOT CONNECTED DIRECTLY INTO THE BREAKER THE BREAKER, WILL NOT TURN ON.
2. LOOK FOR LEAKS.
   • INSPECT THE INSIDE OF THE CABINET LOOKING FOR ANY SIGN OF A LEAK.
   • IF WATER IS LEAKING ONTO AN ELECTRIC COMPONENT, IT MAY CAUSE THE BREAKER TO TRIP.
3. TEST EACH INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT. (PUMP/S, BLOWER, OZONE, LIGHTS, STEREO, HEATER)
   • TO TEST EACH COMPONENT, DISCONNECT ONE PLUG AT A TIME AND TRY THE BREAKER.
   • WHEN THE BREAKER HOLDS, THE DISCONNECTED COMPONENT IS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE.
   • PLEASE CALL AS A REPLACEMENT COMPONENT MAY BE NEEDED.
4. TEST THE SPA GFCI BREAKER.
   • TO TEST THE GFCI BREAKER, REMOVE THE WIRES FROM THE SPA PACK.
   • ONCE ALL WIRES ARE REMOVED, TURN ON BREAKER.
   • IF BREAKER CONTINUES TO TRIP WITHOUT SPA CONNECTED, REPLACE BREAKER.
5. REPLACE THE SPA PACK.
   • IF THE SPA IS WIRED PROPERLY, EACH COMPONENT TESTS TO BE IN WORKING ORDER, AND THE BREAKER HOLDS WHEN SPA IS DISCONNECTED, PLEASE CALL A REPLACEMENT SPA PACK MAY BE NEEDED.
