One of the sensors detected that the water in the hot tub is 110°F (43.3°C). DO NOT GET INTO THE WATER. Take off the spa cover to allow the water to cool down. The hot tub should automatically reset for a temp of 107°F (41.7°C). Shut the power down to the hot tub and contact the dealer or service company if the hot tub won’t reset.

1.1.4 Flow Switch Errors FLO and FLC. There are two different types of flow switch errors. If the flow switch is reading no flow while pump 1 is running, the flow switch is open (FLO), then there is no water flowing through the heater. “FLO” is displayed on the topside and the heater is prevented from running. Browse the full list of Hot tub error codes, the causes and possible solutions to identify the cause with trouble shooting and diagnostic steps.
OH = Sensors reading 112-118° F.
OHH = Overheat. Spa has shut down. One sensor has detected 118º F. at heater.
OHS = Overheat. Spa has shut down. One sensor has detected 110ºF.
Flo = Improper flow or pressure switch malfunction
Cool = Water temp 20° below set point
ICE = Potential freeze condition has been detected
Sn1 = Hi-limit sensor malfunction
Sn3 = Temp sensor malfunction
SnA = Spa is shut down. Sensor plugged into jack A is not working.
Snb = Spa is shut down. Sensor plugged into jack B is not working.
SnS = Sensors out of balance. If alternating with temp, may be temporary condition. If display shows only this message (blinking) spa is shut down.
HFL = Substantial difference between temperature sensors detected. Could indicate a flow problem.
LF = Persistent low flow problems. (Displays on the 5th occurrence of 'HFL' message with 24 hours). Heater is shut down, but other spa functions run normally.
dr = Inadequate water detected in heater.
dry = Inadequate water detected in heater. (Displays on third occurrence of 'dr' message). Spa is shut down.
Pr = When spa is first actuated, it will go into Priming Mode.
ILOC = Interlock failure - possible pump or ozone spike .
(---) =Unknown water temperature. (Displays when first powered up after refill).
Std = Spa operating in Standard Mode.
Ecn = Spa operating in Economy Mode.
SE = Spa operating in Standard-in-Economy Mode.
SL = Sleep mode
---or-- Message
The Current Water Temperature is 'Unknown' (- - - or - -) while in Economy or Sleep Mode.
Between Filter Cycles, while in the Economy or Sleep Heating Modes, the Pump has not turned ON and the Last Water Temperature is not current. To read the Current Water Temperature, either Change to Standard Heating Mode or turn On the Heating Related Pump, and wait at least 2 Minutes.
--F, --C, or -- Message
The Actual Water Temperature is 'Unknown' (- -).
Priming Mode has been exited and the Pump has not yet run for 1 or 2 Minutes (depending on Model) to Sample Actual Water Temperature. With the Heat Related Pump Running, wait at Least 2 Minutes for the Correct Actual Water Temperature to be displayed. This is normal operation.
drY, dY, or HEATER DRY SERVICE REQD Message
There is a Verified 'Dry' (drY or dY) Condition in the heater.
The 'dr' or 'HEATER MAY BE DRY WILL RETEST SHORTLY' Fault has occurred 3 times in a row without a successful Heating Cycle and Spa Functions are Disabled. There is not enough Water in the Heater to Start it. After the Problem has been Resolved, you Must Press Any Button to reset and Restart Heater Start Up. Check for Water Level, Flow Restrictions, Closed Valves, Air Bubbles, and Pump Prime, or contact us on 023 9232 1719
Check for all of the following Conditions:
1. Low Water Level.
2. Blocked Suction Fitting.
3. Blocked Skimmer.
4. Dirty Filter.
5. Too Many Closed Jets.
6. Closed Slice Valve.
7. Heat Related Pump Not Running.
8. Heat Related Pump Not Primed.
Ecn or Ec Message
If the Ecn or Ec Message is Alternating with the Water Temperature on the Display, the Spa is Operating in the Economy Heating Mode.
If the Ecn or Ec Message is ON Solid (Not Flashing) on the Display, the Spa is Operating in the Economy Heating Mode, but there is No current water temperature because the Spa is between Filter Cycles.
Ecn or Ec is Alternating with Temp:
The Spa is Operating in the 'Economy' (Ecn or Ec) Heating Mode.
The Water Temperature is sampled Only during Programmed Filter Cycles. The Heater will only operate and Heat up to Set Temperature during the Filter Cycles. The Water Temperature will probably drop Below Set Temperature between Filter Cycles. Other Heating Modes are Standard, Standard in Economy, and Sleep Modes.
Ecn or Ec is ON Solid (Not Flashing): The Current Water Temperature is 'Unknown' (- - - or - -) while in Economy or Sleep Mode. Between Filter Cycles, while in the Economy or Sleep Heating Modes, the Pump has not turned ON and the Last Water Temperature is not current. To read the Current Water Temperature, either Change to Standard Heating Mode or turn On the Heating Related Pump, and wait at least 2 Minutes.
Coleman Spas Hot Tub Error Codes
ICE, IC, or FREEZE COND Message
A Potential Freeze Condition has been Detected, and 'Ice' (ICE) in the System is being Prevented.
44°F (6.7°C) or Lower has been detected at the Lowest Temp Sensor, or the Aux Freeze Switch has closed, and All Pumps and Blower are activated. All Pumps and Blower are ON for at least 4 Minutes After Temp is 45°F (7.2°C) or Above at the Sensors, or when the Aux Freeze Switch Opens. This is an Operational Message, Not an Error Indication. Either wait for the Potential Freeze Condition to End, or contact us on 023 9232 1719
LF or LOW FLOW Message
There is a Verified 'Low Flow' (LF) Condition in the Heater.
The 'HFL', 'HL', or 'HTR FLOW LOW' Fault has occurred 5 times in the Last 24 Hours or Less, and Heating has been disabled. There is Not Enough Water Flow through the Heater to carry the Heat Away from the Heating Element. After the Problem has been Resolved, you Must Press Any Button to reset and Restart Heater Start Up. Check for Water Level, Flow Restrictions, Closed Valves, Air Bubbles, and Pump Prime, or contact us on 023 9232 1719
Check for all of the following Conditions:
1. Low Water Level.
2. Blocked Suction Fitting.
3. Blocked Skimmer.
4. Dirty Filter.
5. Too Many Closed Jets.
6. Closed Slice Valve.
7. Heat Related Pump Not Running.

Pr or PRIMING MODE TAKES 4 MIN Message
The Spa is Operating in 'Priming' (Pr) Mode.
The Spa has just been powered up and is in Priming Mode for 4 Minutes. Pumps and Blower can be turned ON and OFF to remove any Air from the Heater. On EL and GL Systems Only, equipped with a 'Mode' Button, the Ozone Generator can be Turned ON for15 Seconds and OFF by using the 'Mode' Button. No automatic functions will turn ON during this time, and the Heater will Not Start. This is Not an Error Message. Wait 4 Minutes or Press any Temp Related Button to Exit Priming Mode to Normal Operation.
Note: On some Early VS and GS Systems (prior to Version 23) equipped with a 'Mode' button, the Ozone Generator can be Turned ON for 15 Seconds and OFF by using the 'Mode' button.

The Current Water Temperature is 'Unknown' (- - - or - -) while in Economy or Sleep Mode.
Between Filter Cycles, while in the Economy or Sleep Heating Modes, the Pump has not
turned ON and the Last Water Temperature is not current. To read the Current Water Temperature, either Change to Standard Heating Mode or turn On the Heating Related Pump, and wait at least 2 Minutes.
SnA, SA, or SENSOR A SERVICE REQD Message
'Sensor A' (SnA or SA) is Not Operating Correctly.
The Sensor Connected to the 'Sens.A' Connector on the System Board may have failed and Spa Functions are disabled. Contact us on 023 9232 1719
A Sensor Failure Message may indicate Excessively High Heater Temperatures which can scald or Burn!
If the Heater is Not Cool Enough to Safely Service, allow the Heater to Cool before Testing.
Std, St, or STANDARD Message
The Spa is Operating in the 'Standard' (Std or St) Heating Mode.
Between filter cycles, the water temperature is sampled every 30 minutes. The heater and pump will operate any time the thermostat demands heat. The water temperature is always maintained within 1°F (.5°C) of set temperature. Other heating modes are Economy, Standard in Economy, and Sleep Modes.
Note: On the Panels that Display the 'Std' or 'St' Messages, the Message will only be
displayed for a Few Seconds After the Heating Mode is changed to Standard from a different Heating Mode.
