Just closing the loop on this. I used to 18 ga tinned copper wire and some heat shrink crimp connectors to fix all the sensor wires. I also added some wire loom around each set of wires as additional insurance (still need to also add some wire/mesh around the larger vents to prevent the...

I was thinking of doing something similar, but on the inside and with one solid piece. I figured I’d use rivets and washers to make sure.

Ha. Yes they did! What's interesting is I just used the heater a month ago with no problems so this appears to be fairly recent. Good thing is it looks like it was just those sensor wires so I’ll is those and see what happens. I may try to find some stainless steel mesh to line the inside...

These insulators appear to be inside the tub (they’re showing underneath the lid, right)????? I saw insulation outside of the tub. It looks like there was still some underneath it, but this pic shows all the torn up insulation around the tub (yellow stuff)

Wow! Yeah…definitely not getting the whole harness.

A few other questions as I’m planning to fix this mess… 1. Do with wires have a certain polarity? How do I know when wire goes on which side of the sensor? 2. Should I go ahead and replace the sensors while I’m in there? 3. While I was cleaning out the case it looked like there was some kind...

Just found the problem. Looks like something chewed through ALL the sensor wires. 😕 Do I need a whole new harness or can I just add a butt connector? Looks like one of the sensors is chewed right at the connector? Are these standard blade connector sizes or do I need to get them from Pentair???

I also noticed a little rodent chewing on the automation wire but I don’t think that’s the cause
