Lights stopped working on Jacuzzi J-345
« on: March 08, 2009, 10:07:54 pm »
I have a Jacuzzi J-345 and went in the Tub two nights ago and everything else works except the lights.  
They worked a few days ago, but they are not now.   :-[

When I push the Light button I can hear a sound like it is turning ON and OFF, but the Lights are not coming on in the waterfall or in the water.

The only thing I have tried was turning the breaker off for 20 minutes and reseting it.  That did not fix it.
We have gotten alot of rain this last week, any idea where to start?

Thank you,

Shane

I am assuming your spa is still under warranty.  This is when a call to the dealer comes in real handy.  They can either give you a quick fix over the phone or come out and take care of the problem under warranty.

The tub is not under warranty, I bought it used last January.  

Any idea where to start if I'd like to repair it myself?

Thank you,
Shane

What year is it?  If you get me your serial number I can figure out what system you have.  Once we determine if you have the old style or the new ones we can walk you through troubleshooting it.

Thanks guys.  It is a Jacuzi J-345.

On the Box it says 04/8/2005
J345
Serial # OZD3LXD-100173878-30405

Let me know if I am off a letter or #.  I just find it ODD both bulbs would go out at the same time.  

Again when I push the LIGHT button I hear and feel the circuit going ON and OFF.  

Thanks guys,

Shane

 So your spa was manufactured 4/08/05 installed 5/28/05 purchased by Antonio Argyropoulos in Hanover park IL

As far as the lights go you could check the circuit board and make sure the connections are ok?   Do you have waterfall lights??  Possible corrosion on connection there??  Worse case you need a new main light assembly or circuit board.  

 My guess is bad connection, or main light assembly easy fix for the most part. The old style waterfall light if you have it is replaceable with the new style which is much better!!

I removed the LED light in the foot well and there were two burned bulbs in the 24.  I ordered a replacement light for $230 and am hoping that fixed both the under water light and water fall light.

Since the Waterfall light is tied into the 1st floor light, do you think this will fix both?

Thank you,

Shane

 Should fix both, curious if the light under your waterfall looks like a very thin circuit board pressed between the w,fall and the shell, or if it looks like it is all sealed in a plastic tray type deal??   The latter is the current one used and fails rarely.

I'm not sure Jim, I did not remove the light under the waterfall yet.

Only the foot well one, that is circle with 24 or so LED's and on the back side a 2 pin connector and then a 4 or 8 pin connectoion.  Does that sound right?

Careful what you post on the Internet.  Your disconnect is too close to the spa in violation of NEC.   ;)
