Title: Gecko IN.YJ3 - help - Lifesmart replacement
Post by: goldsounds on February 25, 2023, 02:42:03 pm
Hello everyone,

I have a older lifesmart hot tub with a friction pump.  The tub started to Overheat a few months ago, so I replaced the top controls and got a new spa box to replace the Gecko IN.YJ2

Ive done everything I can to re-install this.
Breaker level is 12
LL 1
(in the pic my sensor is plugged into RGB but its up in P1 now)

I am not sure what to do, the unit comes on if i put my black into K6-C, or direct but if i put it in K6-P nothing happens.

on top, (no matter which K6-C or direct spot i put my black), the control unit flashes the temp in dashes, the time, then FLO over and over.
there is nothing inside the pipes, its a tiny hot tub.  I dont want to have to purchase a ebay IN.J2 but i will if i have too.

the difference is see is P34 is going into K4 on my old board, but this new one has a Line 1 and a fuse and K4 and P34 are not used.

I am almost positive that because I dont have a heat pump, just a friction pump, I dont have this wired correctly, or I need to get an older board for not having an actual heat pump.

any thoughts would be super helpful!(https://i.postimg.cc/T3mgwqqW/IMG-1909.jpg)
