Your blower motor in your spa stopped working. You have one of three likely problems: your blower motor has failed; the motherboard in your control box has blown, or the fuse to your blower motor has blown. This guide shows you how to check and replace the blower motor fuse in your spa control box.

Step 5

Look for the circuit diagram. In this case it's glued to the back of the spa control box cover.

Step 6

Call the manufacturer and ask them for the location of the blower pump fuse. Note: If you can't locate the circuit diagram, take a picture of the circuit board and sent it to the manufacturer.

Step 7

In this case the blower motor fuse is identified as F7 20A 250V and is located in the upper right end of the circuit panel.

Step 8

Pull the fuse out of the fuse clips. If it's stuck, use a small screwdriver to pry it out gently. Be careful not to drop it into the bottom of the control box.

Step 9

You could perform a continuity check on the fuse. If it reads zero, the fuse is blown and should obviously be replaced. But even if it shows some reading it may be partially defective and you should replace it with a new one to see if it corrects the problem.

Step 11

Step 12

Turn on power to the spa

Nick Schnabel - You may have a short in the blower switch that is sorting our intermittently and blowing the fuse.

But why would this fuse blow? Will hitting the blower button repeatedly as soon as it shuts off cause this to blow?

Great instructions. This made my "job" a lot easier. I couldn't find any other instructions that were as easy to follow.
