I got a leak!!! need help

[water@104]

the leak is at the light. i opened up the cabinet and the water is dripping out the back of the light somewhere. Any ideas on how to fix it?  any help would be great.

If under warranty call your dealer,if not you will most likely have to replace the light and gasket. If you cant undo the nut holding the lens in place it will have to be cut out,you can do it if your handy if not call a tech!   Its an easy job but if you have never done it may be tuff but doable.

Drain the spa.  Unscrew the light assembly.  Check the seal and the light.  The seal might be worn out or a crack in the light.  Then replace parts.

thanks for the advice, i have started to drain the tub. After it is down i will be able to get to the light and inspect it a little better. i hope it is just a gasket and a easy fix.

The only thing you can do,is try and get it off with some large channel locks if you can get them in there.

 Hence my comment about cutting, lights can be a bit-- they are usually on there pretty good some times you can get lucky and the nut will come loose but not often.

 Most times lights leak, is from over tightning by the installer at the factory.

I have tried the channel locks and it won't budge, i had to stop or i was going to kicka hole through the tub. I will try again tomorrow. if i can get it i will have to call in reinforcements (repair guy) i was thinking it would be a pretty simple thing to do. i got the light it's self out but just can't get the lense to move. it is on there pretty dang tight. i think i should take a picture and let you see if i am trying to turn the right piece. maybe i am turnig the wrong part. in the tub you have the lese and on the back sde you have a wite pvc which looks like nut but it has silicone cauling all over it. is that a tru nut which i want to turn or is that attached to the tub? I guess i should of asked this part about 4 hours ago. but wht do i know i am just a user.
