Alright, got a customer with a 2020 J-385. Tub hasn’t been turned on in months. Just filled up and now it’s giving me a “cool overheat gfci trip” upon startup and then kills the power and gfi trips within 3 minutes. I bought the bumpers that you linked. Just double checking I’ll be doing this correct. 1) Turn off breaker power 2) put a jumper on J68 3) turn breaker back on for 15 seconds, then turn off. 4) remove jumper and it should have reset that message right?
@@robertbatista7164 Its going to be a high limit, temp sensor or stuck relay. If you had an error code, you could pin point it. Normally it will be the temp sensor.
To reset the 5 minute watch dog gfi trip put dip switch 10 on and power up for 20 seconds, then put it back to normal off state and gfi 5 minute tripping will stop
Have to fix the problem first. If you have the spa pack thats in this video, use j68. If not, there are 2 other resets for different packs in the video description.
That's the easy way ! Do it without draining the spa. Just kidding. Great Video. Btw, you can make a "Temp Sensor key" with a PVC T or PVC elbow so you dont have to use pliers. All you need is heat up the PVC and put an old sensor there until the PVC takes the form of the sensor and thats your key. Works every time. Also, after replacing the temp sensor you are suppose to reset the dipswitch #10 or the message can come back. I think its easier than jumping the board.
Because Jacuzzi changes their spa packs so many times, Im not sure what pack you have. I do have other videos about the resets for different years and makes. There's only 3 resets. Look in the video description. It might be in there.
I have jacuzzi j355 and change the overheat sensor but still saying the same thing I have call main dealer and there re-set I need to do could you help me please
Hello. I have a 2006 Jacuzzi J385 with a 6600-101 LCD board (replaced original a few years ago). I recently replaced a faulty temp sensor and was working great until a Watchdog ---- (4 dashes) message appeared a couple days ago. I have turned off the GFI Breaker and it has not reset the message. Do you know how to reset this model Jacuzzi? Any assistance would be appreciated.
I have a 2014 lightly used Jacuzzi 335 Clear Ray hot tub. It has worked flawlessly until late fall when it would not up to temperature. I winterized the tub and in starting up this year I have the same issue. There are no error codes. Water going into the tub was around 45 degrees. After a day it was up to 65 but that's where it stopped. I replaced the temperature sensor but that didn't solve the issue. I assume I have a heater issue but thought I'd check in here first. Any other checks before I call for heater replacement? Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have. Thanks for your video work....first class!
Like always, test the volts a d amps on the heater element. It sounds like the element anyway. No error codes and no tripping of the breaker? Does that tub have a pressure switch or flow switch? I can't remember
@@VIPPoolsandSpas I've tried the power off and on. It shows OH for a split second and then goes four dashes to watchdog. I've ordered a new temperature sensor.

Hello I have a 2 or 3 yo jacuzzi j 480. I have no fault but noticed a difference of about 14 deg between setpoint and actual temperature using a good thermometer. So I set it right now to say 89F. Hot tub reports 89F but it feels hot and I can measure 103F. Any clue? Start with temperature sensor?
Check the wires of the temp sensor and high limit. (MICE). Check to make sure all wires are plugged in on the circuit board the right way. Check if the temp senor and high limit are seated in where they should be.
Whats the error on the topside controls? I think the reset is turn the power off for 15 plus mins and turn back on or the reset is in the menu of the touch keypad.
There’s no error message now, It was just about the temp sensor not functioning, now thats gone. But the hot-tub is still heating up really high, upwards of 110 degrees. Wasnt sure if there was a reset. I tried turning it off and back on after about 15 minutes and the message disappeared, but the heat is not correct. I think at this point we may need a new temp sensor. Your thoughts?
I think that one is (4 dashes or Lines) 1) turn power off for 15mins or so. 2) turn power back on. It should be gone. If it comes back. its something else. Pull filters, make sure water is topped up, make sure the circ pump is working (pump pushing water thru the heat tube).

@@VIPPoolsandSpas I guess. You are just molding the sensor into the PVC. If you send me your email I can send you a picture of the one I have.
