You are very lucky that you didn't burn the building down the heater will need to be checked for the fault that caused it to overheat also the wall socket will need to have the same checks and the ring main it is on as well

If you're lucky, there's a circuit breaker built into the table saw motor and a little red button somewhere on the motor to reset it.
When you re-wire it. know that the cord should have a black wire (hot), a white wire (neutral), and a green wire (ground).
When you wire the power cord to the switch, the black wire should be the one that goes directly to the switch contacts and gets disconnected when you turn off the switch. The white wire goes through the rest of the system up to the motor. The green wire grounds out the metal parts that you might touch.
If you have to replace the motor, get a 3450 rpm to 3600 rpm motor. Harbor Freight has one for about $140 before any discount.
I recommend at least 1.5 HP
your heater works when it has to with or without jets on. you won't be able to feel the temp difference on your skin because it has a very small heater coil versus 210 gallons of water. As long as the spa maintains the set temp, it's working fine. maybe your set program for the spa isn't set to your needs. check your manuel for setup and make sure your not in vacation mode, thst will drop the water temp by 20 degrees.
you have two options you can either replace the outlet on the wall to a 4 prong plug which will require turning power off and a little more description on how to change ... you have 2 hot legs usually black and red sometimes they will use black and the white and then connect the ground to the ground terminal... you would install the 4 prong outlet the same way except you would conect the ground to the center port and then ground the receptacle itself...
the easiest thing to do is go to a local hardware store and buy a three prong cord and in the rear of your dryer is a access panel to replace the cord... the 2 outer screws are your hot legs if you hold the cord flat you will see it is made where you can tell which wire is what, doesnt matter which is which as long as the 2 outer one are the two outer ones on the cord and the center wire goes to the center screw and then all you have to do is plug it in and start drying clothes.... good luck to you
Look carefully at the plug's connectors to see if thewre is any scorching or otherwise burnt metal...electrical connectors tend to get hot due to the plug being loose(this causes more resistance and thus more heating). As a safe bet...the parts aren't expensive...I would replace both the power cord on the heater AND the outlet recepticle
the side with the largest **** in the plug is going to be your neutral or which should be white and the smaller side will be the hot which is black hope this helps you out...
Disconnect and reconnect the power cord. Plug the printer's power cord straight into an electrical outlet that other electrical devices have been using. Bypass any surge devices or power strips.
Unplug the power adapter from printer (rectangular black box inserted in the printer where the power cord is attached). With the power cord attached to it and other end plugged into the power outlet in the wall, check if it's warm/hot but not too hot, that means it's working fine.
If these does not help, it could be a possible defective power adapter issue. Please contact Lexmark technical support for additional assistance. Thanks.
Try these out:
1. Check for any physical defects on the power cord. Plug printer straight to the power outlet in the wall without using any extensions or power strips.
2. Plug the printer to a known working power outlet in the wall.
3. Unplug the printer's power supply (the black box behind the printer where the power cord is attached). With the power cord still attached to power supply and the other end still plugged in to the power outlet, it should feel warm but not hot. Then, plug it back in the printer.
4. If still no power, press the power button.
5. If after doing these and the printer is still not powering on, you might be looking at a defective power cord or defective power supply.
Hi, here are some checklist for power problems with the printer. 1. Make sure the printer is plugged in to a known working power outlet. 2. Disconnect/Reconnect power cord from power outlet and the back of the printer. 3. With the power cord connected to the power supply(the black box where the power cord is plugged in behind the printer) and the other end plugged in to the power outlet, unplug the power supply from printer and check if it is warm or cold. It might be a defective power supply. Hope this will help you find the problem.
Not dangerous at all. All heaters create some warmth around where the plug enters the outlet. WARM, not hot, if it's HOT too the touch, then it's a problem. Never use extension cords, and never splice the cord... also don't run the wire under rugs etc... you'll be fine.
normally you will have four wires in the cord: a red, a black, awhite and a green. The red and black are the hot or power wires the white is the neutral and the green is ground. Purchase a plug that matches your outlet pattern (that will plug in). Shut off the circuit breaker that feeds the outlet and remove the cover. strip the insulation back on the cord, determine which wire goes to which lug or terminal and connect the wires to the plug. reassemble the outlet and the plug, turn on the circuit and test. If all of this is greek to you, call a local electrician and pay them the $50 to $80 to put the plug on for you, its safer that way.
