Viking Spa heating issues

Posted: Thu Dec 07, 2006 5:07 am   Post subject: heating issues

I have a Viking II 1999 model 220v, When I 1st connected it, the temp went up to 100, since then it has dropped. I never see the heat light go on, I changed the filter but to no avail. I hear there is a pressure switch that might be causing the issue, or the heating element. Does anyone know if I can put a voltage tester on either one and see if there is any power going to it? if so what voltage should be on it? Thanks in advance

To test the pressure switch turn the power to the spa off, remove the two wires that are on the pressure switch. You will need a piece of wire to put between the two leads you removed. Once you have the wire in the leads make sure they are not touching anything and turn the power back on to the spa. If it heat you need a new switch. If not call a service company to take a look at the pc board. Some of the spas that year do not have a mechanical pressure switch. Look up part number 3209 if you have a similar part in you pack the you are ok. If not then it is a pc board sensor.
