Please Note: After Arctic Spa Software Version 1.0.64, Error Codes were changed from abbreviations to numbers. They will now read “Er” and a number ie “01”, “02”, etc.
If you have error codes showing on your hot tub panel LCD screen…before proceeding…try flipping off the power breaker to your hot tub, wait 20 seconds, then flip the breaker back on. This will reset the spa.
- If it was a false error, everything will reset and return to normal.
- If your arctic spa has a real error code, the code will return again to the LCD screen.
Please reference the below error code list for the error code, error name and description and the solution to resolve the hot tub error.
