HELP ! I have a 1985 Hot Springs Spa, model “Indoor/Outdoor”. This spa was used for 2 years and then drained & stored until 2 months ago. I t has been working flawlessly until last night when some friends used the spa and turned up the heat to maximum and left it this way overnight. In the morning I discovered the spa at 110 degrees. In an attempt to cool it down after checking & treating the chemicals I turned the heat down to it’s normal setting, added a little chlorine, and replaced the tubs cover with the jets running. 4 hours later I discovered the spa was still at 110 degrees but now it appeared to be getting no power (the jets had stopped running). No lights, no jets, no heat. I attempted to reset the GFCI which does not help. Checked the dedicated outlet and see it is good. The spa is now cooled down to 70 degrees but still it will not come on. Again, no lights, no jets, no heat.
Is there a reset switch I am missing somewhere?
Any advice would be appreciated.

There are two small red re-set buttons on the control box of the spa. Open the equipment door (where the pump and heater are located), find the control box, locate the buttons, and push both of these buttons. One will likely only click once, the other will do nothing.

After pushing the two small red buttons, it's very important to close the equip door before trying to re-start. Close the equip door, and enjoy

Letting the jets run with the cover on did you in- it's insulated quite well, and will overheat left in this fashion. One of the red buttons may be marked "Spa Reset" But being over 20 years old, the sticker may have fallen off. That's the spa high-limit, and it will trip when the spa water is around 115F. The other red button is the heater high limit, and it will trip when the water inside the heater reaches around 120-130F. These buttons will only trip automatically, if they have not tripped, you can't re-set them, and pushing them will do nothing.

THANK YOU --That did it! Found the resets as you indicated. My spa is up & running again. I suspected I had compounded the problem by leaving the cover on with the jets running at 110 degrees. Won't do that again!

the reset kicked out because the water got too hot... 104 is maximum recommended safe temperature.
