Gfci clicking, motor pulsing

[mmasko1]

S,

As RDspaguy pointed out... is your GFCI cord plugged into a GFCI outlet?

If so, remove the GFCI cord, and run with the spa plugged into just a GFCI outlet.

Thanks,

Jim R,

We are having the same clicking problem. Both the cord & outlet have GFCI but when ran previously we did not have this issue. Our spa had a slight leak so we had it unplugged & drained & just replaced a jet, filled it & plugged it in & now have the clicking. Any ideas?

Thanks for you time!

Likely either a short or a bad gfci. Unplug, disconnect equipment (heater, pump, blower, ozone, etc) one at a time, then plug in to isolate the fault.
Cord-end GFCIs are notorious for problems. If you can, get rid of it.
Any water on electrical components can cause a short and gfci trip, and it's not uncommon to get something wet when filling.
Problems are more likely after a fresh fill due to extended run time of equipment to get it heated up as well as any issues that developed while drained (freeze damage, rodents nesting, etc.). Also, improper fill can cause damage in some spas.
Pics of equipment area, circuit board, and wiring diagram may be helpful.
