What would cause a contactor not to pull in?
AC contactor not pulling in is not a major issue. It can be taken care of without much botheration. Surprisingly, it is something that can be avoided through periodic maintenance. Usually, the contactor malfunctions due to corroded contacts, coil failure, and contactor burnout.
What are the message codes on a Cal spa pump?
Beginning with the 2014 product line, Cal Spa control panels display different message codes. For a description of these message codes, see the owner’s manual. Note: The priming procedure described here applies to Cal Spas built in 2013 and earlier. Beginning with the 2014 product line, Cal Spas pumps have a different method of priming.
How to troubleshoot a problem with a Cal spa?
Troubleshooting 1 Message on the control panel. A message on the control panel may indicate a problem. 2 Problems starting up. Note: The priming procedure described here applies to Cal Spas built in 2013 and earlier. 3 Power and electrical problems. 4 Heat problems 5 Jet problems 6 Water pressure problems
Why is the heating element on my spa not working?
If for any reason one of these components fail then the required voltage to the coil will be jeopardized and the contactor will not close in order to send power to the heating element. As mentioned above, it is usually one of these components that will cause a spa not to heat.
How to tell if the heater relay is bad in a spa?
Place a voltmeter lead on the ground screw. Test the voltage at each control-circuit pin. Both pins should have the same voltage reading and this reading should equal the relay’s stated control-voltage rating. If one pin has voltage but the other does not, then replace the relay.
