Gecko error code starting up spa after winter

<< < (2/2)

CanadianSpaTech:
Have to follow the instructions I gave earlier and try to give it a bit of help starting.

paul mav:
Tried it and it started.  I tried just turning with a screwdriver and it seemed jammed, wasn't turning freely.  Powered on, helped it and off it went.  Only thing that I noticed now is that there is a leak.  Is it possible that the seal, and impeller jammed up and that was the cause?  Possible, now have to fix the leak.  Thanks

CanadianSpaTech:
You will need to rebuild the pump with a new front bearing, Impeller and shaft seal. What has happened is the centrifugal force of the shaft spinning has mushroomed the end of the motor shaft which in turn has caused the impeller shaft to spread/split and is locking it into the seal causing the leak. You will have to grind down the end of the motor shaft that has mushroomed. Careful not to damage the threads on the shaft
