Hot Tub problem

Pineedles · 06-18-2013, 12:34 PM

In the general discussion section there is a discussion on rental property advise to owners. Latest thread is talking about a renter abusing a hot tub. My problem is with a nephew who doesn't know his own strength. He was turning the valve that opens the headrest "waterfall" on my Thermo-Spa hot tub and he broke the knob off. Water got in and the control panel went dark. I turned the tub off at the breaker, drained the tub, looked for any water seepage and saw none, refilled, and turned power back on. Still no panel display. Anyone ever deal with electronic repair/replacement? Like to know what kind of cost I could be looking at before I call the factory tech in for a look see. Luckily the factory is only 10 miles away, but I know it will cost me over $150.00 just to walk onto my back deck.
