8.1D No Heat or Not Enough Heat (All Models)
• Symptoms:
Circulation pump (heating pump) is turning, panel heat indicator not lit,
panel is
flashing
FL1.
Standard Troubleshooting Approach
Is the circulation pump
(Heat Pump) moving
water?
Verify hot tub is in a
primary filtration mode
step below.
Remove switch wires
from board. Increase set
temperature to initiate a
heat call, then jumper flow
switch wires together
(Fig. 7). Does heat
indicator appear and FL1
error message disappear?
Test flow switch with
ohmmeter for continuity
(0Ω) across switch
terminals (Fig. 9) Does
meter read continuity (0Ω)
with pump on?
Clean connectors between
flow cable and switch.
1. Remove filter and
allow air to bleed
out of cartridge.
2. Check for proper
water level.
3. Check for clogged/
excessively dirty
filter.
4. Check for blockage
at filter wall fitting.
5. Check for sticking
weir.
6. Is pump moving
water?
Remove flow switch
connector from circuit
board test point 22 (Fig.
8). Place jumper across
exposed connector pins
*
.
Does heat indicator
appear and FL1 error
message disappear?
Repair or replace flow
sensor cable.
Remove flow switch
and inspect for debris
blockage. Remove
blockage or replace
switch.
Re-install flow switch.
Install flow switch
with arrow pointing in
direction of flow. Make
sure magnet arm doesn’t
bottom out in fitting (Fig.
10).
Replace circuit board.

Lightly scrape
contact pins at
point 22 with a
razor blade or
sandpaper to re-
move conformal
coating or oxida-
tion form contact
surface.
