*If the hot tub heater has failed, the majority of the time it will trip the GFCI breaker. If the hot tub is not heating and has not tripped the breaker, please follow these steps:
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is required, by National Electrician Code (NEC), for your protection. The tripping of the GFCI may be caused by a component on the spa or by an electrical problem. Such electrical problems include, but are not limited to, a faulty GFCI breaker, power fluctuations or a miswire. It may be necessary to contact an electrician if your local dealer recommends doing so.
