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.
Things like that are *usually* a very simple swap. Have you tried looking to see how easy it is to get to the control panel? My guess it that it's a 15 minute job.
