Troubleshooting Procedures

 

 
In the event your Fantasy hot tub is not working the way it should, please first review all the installation and 
operating instructions in this manual and check the message on the panel display.  If you are still not satisfied it is 
working properly, please follow the appropriate troubleshooting instructions.   
 

Note: If any of the manufactured installed supply cords are damaged, they must be replaced by 
authorized service personal. 

 

    

     CAUTION!  WARNING! SHOCK HAZARD! No User Serviceable Parts. 

Do not attempt service of this control.  Contact your dealer or service organization 
for assistance.  Follow all owners’ manual power connection instructions.  Installation 
must be performed by a licensed electrician and all grounding connections must be 
properly installed. 

 
NO COMPONENT OPERATION 
 

Check the following: 

1.

 

Is there power to the hot tub? 

2.

 

Is the household circuit breaker tripping? 

3.

 

If 1 & 2 are yes, call your authorized dealer for service. 

PUMP DOES NOT OPERATE, BUT THE LIGHT DOES 

Press the JETS button: 

The pump operates but no water flows to jets.  Pump may not be properly primed.  This can happen 
after the spa is drained and refilled.  Press the JETS button several times, never leaving the motor 
on for more than 5-10 seconds at-a-time.   

POOR JET ACTION 

1.

 

Press the JETS button to make certain the pump is on. 

2.

 

Rotate the air control to the “max” position. 

3.

 

Make sure the water level is at the texture line. 

4.

 

Check for dirty filter.  Clean, if necessary. 

5.

 

Make sure all jets are in the open position 

WATER IS TOO HOT 

1.

 

Check desired temperature on topside control 

2.

 

Check for a diagnostic Message (see Control System manual for details) 

OH  - Overheat (spa is deactivated)  DO NOT ENTER THE WATER. 

 

If the spa water has reached overheated you can remove the cover to promote heat reduction.  
Overheating may occur if the filter cycle is set too long.  The hot tub Control System should reset 
itself when the water temperature reduces below 106ºF or 43ºC.  When the hot tub falls below the 
reset temperature you can push any button on the topside control to reset the Control System.  If the 
hot tub will not reset, then shut off power to the spa and call your dealer or service organization. 

* Under extreme and/or prolong weather conditions it is possible for the ambient temperature to exceed 106F/40C, 
therefore; effecting the water temperature of the hot tub and causing the tub to overheat.  These conditions could 
cause the tub sensors to produce an OH message and prevent the usage of your hot tub during these conditions.  The 
location of your hot tub should be reconsidered to reduce the outside temperature around the tub.  For example, you 
may need to prevent direct sunlight on any surface of your hot tub.  Regardless, do not enter your hot tub if the 
temperature is above 104F. 
 
Your authorized Fantasy dealer is a trained service repair center. Should checking the above steps fail to correct the 
problem, call your dealer so they may arrange service of your hot tub.
