Title: GFCI wont trip when test button is pushed
Post by: JUST ME on October 09, 2006, 11:02:00 pm

Hi All,

I have a Caldera.

The 20A GFCI will not trip when I push the test button, do I call the electrician or dealer?

Thanks all

Just Me,

         I would get ahold of your electrician could be wired incorrectly or a bad breaker

Is it a new spa?  Start with the dealer.  If you got the breaker with the spa, it is actually part of the spa warranty.  A feature of a Watkins product.

The dealer may want you to call electrician.

Is this a new installation?   Has the breaker ever test tripped properly?  If so, I would assume a faulty breaker.  I would not use the tub if I were you, until the breaker is replaced.  This is a basic safety issue.

Also I would suggest you check and ensure there is power coming to the breaker. They will not trip if there is no juice. I am not trying to be a prick and state the obvious but you would be suprised.
