YES!! It is fixed. I just got home and went straight to the backyard and opened the cover and it is sitting at 102 degrees and fully operational!
I found an "invoice" hanging on my front door (no charge)...the tech tightened the transformer connection and checked all functions is printed on it, so it seems it was nothing more than a lose connection.
Now if it cools off and the humidity drops I might even get in it tonight.
Thanks for the reply.


You may want to look and see if you have a board where the transformer is soldered to the board, if so he did not fix the spa.

They are usually two bolts on the transformer to hold the weight of it from pulling on the solder joints, if the solder joints break you can sometimes tighten the bolts and make a connection again but the solder joint is still broken and your problem will return.

Thanks Gary, I appreciate the response, I will look into that and see. If it does happen again, I am able to solder at least but still would have a tech come out and fix it per your suggestion if they havent already.

The transformer is not soldered to the board it is mounted in the control box, then plugged to the board. Dont worry it will be fine! Enjoy the spa.
  If it does it again voice your opinion to them and I am sure it will be taken care of if it comes up again.

With the exception of the 2 weeks later in shipping (quoted 4-6 weeks, took 8 to get it), the dealer has been great. I cant say anything buy positive things for the service tech, out here the next day. I just shocked it a little while ago and the water tested almost perfect, so all in all. it was a good experience with them this time around.
Dont know about the feet, but the gil I saw out there last time had a nice butt :)
