Minimax 250 Cycling on and off after reaching 20 degrees


Minimax Heater heats spa to approx 20 degrees then starts to cycle, Shuts burners and ignition off, Then goes thru startup procedure and re-ignites and heats for approx 30 secs then shuts off. It will continually go thru this cycle.

Both control knobs are on Max, Have bridged the 2 safety shutoffs & the Hi temp, Still have the same issue regardless if switched to Spa or Pool. Pressure switch remains closed aswell, So this is not causing the issue.

E04 minimax error code

Since you said you replaced the fan, and flow valve. Did you re-install the pressure switch correctly? it will look something like attached image. This is more than likely the cause if you did not replace with the fan or reinstall correctly... or it might have been the cause in the first place...
