Title: "Watchdog" Panel Display
Post by: Skellman on November 29, 2012, 10:08:16 am

Hello all,

Hopefully somebody can give me some input. I'm guessing I'll need to have a tech come in.
Anyway, the display on my Sundance Hamilton is showing - - - which indicates a "watchdog" safety software has been triggered.

Any ideas or should I get the tech scheduled?

Thanks

Try turning off the power to the spa at
either the breaker or disconnect, then
wait 20 minutes and turn the power
back on. 
Hopefully this will clear the problem.

I already did that but only for a few seconds did I cut the power.

I'll try it and leave it off for 20 minutes.
And pray that does it.
Thank you.

Turned the breaker off for over an hour. Fired it up and same thing.
It runs for a minute or so. While running the display flashes between "ice" and the water temperature.
It then shuts down and goes back to the - - -.

Any other suggestions?

 Could be a couple things, circ pump, temp sensor or flo switch.   Most likely circ pmp or temp sensor. Check the circ pump first.
