Thanks. While I found a replacement capacitor, I ordered a new motor (duh, the capacitor specs are on the motor housing). Hopefully I can get another year or two out of the heater.

Fair enough. I want to give a chance to the blower...is the capacitor attached to the blower motor casing the start capacitor? Is it a 5 microfarad capacitor? 370/440 VAC?

I have a 1,500 gallon spa with second pump for a waterfall that flows into the spa. The main pump is a 3hp Pentair. Piping is 2". If I buy a Pentair 125k Mastertemp with 1.5" piping, will it reduce the performance of or damage my setup?

Yes, the water pressure switch and thermostat work. The blower does not start, so the ignition cycle does not start. Learned yesterday after I left the heater on for a while, error code 4 came on which is the fan. Now...replace the blower or replace the heater? Choices. The heater is 10...

The blower ran for 15-30s, a loud pop occurred, and it will not start again. This was prior to the ignition cycle. It happened the day after it rained. I have the heater cover off now to inspect, and water certainly could NOT have gotten into the blower motor itself. What happened?

Gardenfreek, how did you determine that your blower was blown. The same thing just happened to me. I think rainwater got inside the blower.

I re-wired the heater with a new $40 harness. Fired up without problems. If anybody needs help on this topic, let me know.

Thanks. One of the wires from the Hot Surface Ignitor (the one not going to the Ignition Module) and a white wire from the Power Switch and heading to the Terminal Block are both cut. Does anybody have pictures of their properly wired heater so I can compare? Thanks.

Hi. New to this. I have a Pentair Minimax NT that has no power. There is one white wire that is cut with no corresponding wire to re-connect it to. The two remote wires are not connected to the board and are hanging loose. Is there a comprehensive wiring diagram or video to show me how to re-wire?

Where are these videos online? My heater has no power to it and I'm trying to diagnose. Thank you.
