I've got a Morgan spa that is about 8 or 9 years old (I think -- it came with my house). I run the spa on the 24-hour pump timer, set to run continuously in the afternoon/evening for about 10 hours and the heater timer is disabled.

I recently had to replace the timer breaker, because it would no longer switch on. After I replaced the timer, it started cycling power on and off (on for about a minute, off for about 15 minutes) during the time when the spa is supposed to be off (it runs fine when it is supposed to be on). I replaced the timer breaker again, but the new breaker has the same problem. To troubleshoot, I disconnected the bypass switch for the timer and the cycling still happens. I also disconnected the power from the timer contacts and put a meter to see if the contacts were closing while it was running, but I didn't see it happen. I'm guessing there is something else causing this, but can't isolate it. Any ideas?

We apologize for the delay in response to this question. We are currently trying to find the answer to this ourselves. Once we have the answer, we will post it.
