Hoping someone can help save my old Hot Springs spa!
Following a recent power surge, my 30A GFCI breaker tripped. After resetting this, maybe 15 minutes later, the house 50A breaker tripped. I opened up the spa IQ2000 control box to start troubleshooting and was surprised to find my heater was "stuck" in the on position. The heat control is an old rotary type; normally when rotated full CCwise, relays click off. Since this surge, they're full on. I tried replacing the control, but still get the same heat full-on problem.
Does this mean my old motherboard toast? Is there anything else that might be the problem? The motherboard is now obsolete, so a major upgrade would be needed if that's the problem.
I suspect this problem is not tripping the breaker, but hoping someone with more smarts than me can weigh in.
Thanks in advance for ANY suggestions!!!
