Title: heatsink problem? What is that...
Post by: seamoe on July 24, 2006, 09:47:02 pm
I've been reading a few posts and have a question about my Geneve.  I saw Autoplay posted a reply about a heatsink issue.  What exactly is that?  My lights are out of sync on my spa.  I felt my control buttons, and the only thing that's hot is the LED temp display, the rest of it is "warm".  Do I have a problem? Obviously I do with the lighting, but is something else wrong? and if so do I need to worry about it if I dont get it fixed right away.

A heatsink transfers heat from something hot,and helps dissipate it. The LED lights in your spa and mine utilize 1 of those.  It sounds like yours is defective,esp if your lights are out of synch.


The LED control button shouldn't be "hot".  It should be slightly warm,and that's it.

As far as a safety hazard,I wouldn't sweat it as far as rushing to get it fixed etc.  I would let your dealer know about your problem,and schedule a repair.  Tell him/her to bring out what's needed to repair/replace the heatsink issue and the spaglo lighting being out of synch.

I would rush it if,your warranty is close to expired. I don't recall what the warranty is as far as the spaglo.
