These Toy style spas do not have individual replacement parts for their major components, available or easily attainable by the consumer! It appears that when they fail so early and prematurely, they want you to buy a new pump, or heater, or control center, etc.
I would squeak and squeak to them until that squeak is oiled! Especially if fairly new. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
Good luck.

You have a broken wire in the seat. The blue wire inside the seat cushion will break or burn in two. If you are handy with tools you can remove the seat, remove the screws from the control switches cut the hog nose ring clips, undo the velcro on the back of the seat bottom and carefully remove the bottom seat cover. You will find that the blue heating element blue wire in burned in two. Cut the bad part out, slide some heat shrink tape over one end. Slide it far enough so that you wont shrink it from the solder gun. Solder the two wires together and keep the joint minimal so that the shrink tape will slide over the solder joint. shrink the tape with a heat gun or hair dryer.Put everything back in reverse order. You will need to go to an older conventional auto parts store and buy a hog nose ring kit with the pliars to replace the upholstery. Go to an upholstery shop and they can tell you where to buy it . It should cost 3 or 4 dollars. this whole seat repair should not cost over $8.00. Also remember check the fuses first and also remember that the seatbelt has to be fastened for the seat heater to work.
Usually you should have heat very quickly. I can think of a few things that might cause low heat. One would be a low power level at the outlet. The other might be the heater element is just about worn out. And third is the power or heat selector switch is faulty.
I've seen the low heat from low power caused by too long extension cords as well as low power levels. Try plugging into a different outlet and directly and see if it heats up normally.
Unfortunately if it is a problem with the heater element or the switch unless you are under warranty you would have to buy a new unit. If you have warranty then you should contact the store you purchased or McCulloch about getting it replaced.
something is probably wrong with the heating element. you can try to fix it yourself by unscrewing the plastic casing, or take it to a repair shop, or buy a new gun
With out the thing plugged in with an OHM meter the heting element can be checked with the nose removed. Most of the time once the nose is removed the problem is easy to see the end is burnt off the element connection. Remake the connection reinstall the nose and test. The heating element runns right off the switch and the connection there is easy to see with the handle opened. This is simple unit and wires burnt off from being too hot is almost always the problem. look it over carfully and the problem will be seen.
try to found a local manufacture for heating elements, like http://rezistoterm.xhost.ro/ , give them the old heat element and the power of the bathroom heater (ex: 3000W and 220v, or 2000W and 110V) and they wil macke new oane and much chep like an original one.
Likely, the heating element in the seat has failed. The reason is simply that the drivers seat is in use more than any other seat in the vehicle. You can check continuity of the element with an ohmeter across the seat side of the heater connector. Check for power at the harness side with a volt meter. If there is power but no continuity, heater element has failed. Personally, I'd probably just live with it but you can either attempt to install a new heater element or if you can find a similar seat in a salvage yard, just buy it and put it in! (whole seat probably costs less than the element!!!
you might have to just grind the heads of the bed bolts and buy new bolts or get a set of torches and heat the nuts till they turn red and try to take the bolts out then with the impact gun .
