Dream maker x500 won't shut down at temp

Check ohms at temp sensors plug both hi limit and temp were not far off of each other for water temp. When spa is plugged in set temp is 100 turn down to spa water temp and shuts off for about 20 to 30 seconds then starts running as if called for heat. Then can not get it to shut down on temp.

SOURCE: Dream Maker spa - does my dream maker spa 4 person

Depending upon the age, the Dream Maker has a digital thermostat which is easy to change but to be honest I don't think that is the cause of your problem.

Check the keypad connection on the PCB (circuit board).

t could be either the keypad or PCB at fault and withou trying one or the other you'll not be able to determine the problem. My advise would be for you to contact your local parts supplier and ask them whether or not they can supply you a keypad to try with the option to send it back for a refund if it doesn't cure the problem.

A keypad can be trial fitted to the PCB, just unplug the old one, plug the new one in and turn on the power. There's no need to install the keypad to the spa, therefore you wont damage it in anyway.

If the keypad doesn't cure the problem, change the PCB.

Regards,
Ian.

SOURCE: spa won't heat

you need to have the heater tested, there should be about 10 ohms of resistance when testing across the heater leads. MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF, and disconnect the wires at the posts then test for resistance.

If the multimeter reads an open, the heater is bad. Also make sure that you actually get 240 volts across the heater leads when the system is on.

You should have a spa technician test it if you are not comfortable working with electronics.

SOURCE: Easy spa round - dream maker - overheat sensor is

Assuming that you've got adequate water flow, clean/new filter and the pump works as it should; Try a new sensor. They can and do sometimes fail and the sensor is much cheaper than the PCB. ;)

Dream maker spa x-400 won't shut off keeps heating. I have turned it off and let it tottaly cool down the temp max temp is set to 95 and it never shuts off until it gets to 105 and overheats.

I had the same problem last year, I talked to a spa guy and he stated that the temp sensor was probably covered in bio crud. He also stated that the tub should be cleaned with a hot tub flush. After doing that I have not had a problem with the temp settings.

Sensors on my dream maker spa is not working

If you have an Ohm meter you could test the sensors to see if you're getting the correct resistance. It is most likely that they have failed.
Most Dream Maker Spas have Balboa sensors which aren't too expensive, it might be easier to replace them.

Need help trouble shooting heater problem

Hi,
Yes this is your Hi Limit (High Temperature) sensor.
This is a safety device so replace it.
On most DreamMaker spas the Temperature Hi Limit sensors share the same 4-Wire plug, you will have to replace both.
If your sensors have a telephone style plug you can replace the Hi Limit with out replacing the Temp sensor.

Spa keeps overheating

Hi,
Faulty temperature sensor should do this to.
A floating thermometer should read water temperature within 3-4 degrees of spa controller. If it is greater than that your sensor is bad.
The hi limit is an over heat sensor it does not control the temperature of the water. If the water is heating above 118 degrees and the spa is not shutting down its Hi Limit.

I am experiencing a small problem. My pump motor does not operate consistantly all the time. There are times when the controls sends a signal for the motor to start-up. You can hear the HUMMMM of the...

Most likely you received the Hi temp signal, because you had no flow due to the pump stopping. You could have a problem with the control system for the pump motor, or the motor could be having problems. If this motor has a capacitor, it could be failing causing the motor not to start. The bearings could be going bad, and that's keeping it from starting.

My hot tub had a OH where the temp usually is, then went blank and i wasnt able to reset it. i just replaced the cord and resiliconed around the temp readout

This is probally your temp sensor. Where it is on your system is hard to say. If you have a book on the system it will be in there.
