I have a spa with a Minimax operator B224055MR76A. The board was burnt through at Relay K6. I believe this relay runs the number 1 motor. A 4 hp A.O. Smith turning a Waterway pump. This motor is 220 volts 7-187563-02 and is rated at 4.4/12 amps. I pulled the motor plug and figured out what color is corresponding to what prong.White (nuetral) to black reads 2.0 ohms,white to red reads 5 ohms,black to red reads 6.4 ohms. Does anyone know if these readings are within normal parameters or due I not dare to hook it up to the new board?

Why not try running the motor sans the board? Just hook it up directly to the power lines from the breaker. Once running, you can measure the amperage and make sure that is within spec.
