|
|
Was cleaning out some hoses on my system. Cycling hot water and PBW from the HLT thru the pump to clean the hoses. All done. Turned the Control Panel off and let the HLT's water cool down. Came back later with the intent of pumping out the HLT, turned the Control Panel switch and nothing. Dead. No lights, no anything. I'm an electrical nabob so put a call in to my electrician - waiting to hear back from him to schedule a visit.
The GFCI won't reset. So I pulled the Control Panel power cord from outlet and the GFCI still won't reset. Is it safe to say the issue is with the GFCI circuit breaker? Again, forgive my ignorance, sort of shooting in the dark here. But, if the Control Panel is not plugged in am I correct in assuming there's no load on that circuit? And, if so, if it still won't reset, can you think of any other cause?
Thanks.

Ok, as a followup it appears the GFCI breaker is functioning fine. It is not tripping but when tested functions as it should. So, the new question is why would the Control Panel all of a sudden not function at all, i.e. dead when I turn the key to "on"? Anyone think of anything I can/should immediately check?

Tennessee,
Thanks - that was it. Even though I had disconnected all the cords and turned off (what I thought were all the switches) the HLT element switch was still in the on position. Bingo. Damn, I love this forum. Thanks again.
