Is this the right part for you?
Before ordering, please verify that your existing cutout matches the 9-7/8" x 3-3/8" dimensions and that your current button layout includes the "Air" function. Replacing a faulty topside panel is the fastest way to fix "ghost button" presses, unresponsive displays, or erratic heater behavior.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this control panel include the adhesive overlay?
A: Yes, this is a complete assembly. It includes the internal electronic components and the 9-button Elite Spas "Air" graphic overlay already applied.
Q: How do I know if this fits my spa model?
A: The most reliable way to check is by measuring your existing cutout. This panel requires a hole slightly smaller than its 9-7/8" x 3-3/8" faceplate. Also, ensure your current layout has 9 buttons, including a dedicated "Air" button.
Q: My buttons are unresponsive, but the screen works. Will this fix it?
A: Usually, yes. Unresponsive buttons are typically caused by a failure in the touch-sensitive membrane. Replacing the topside panel is the standard fix for "ghost" presses or dead buttons.
Q: Is this a genuine Elite Spas part?
A: The original part is no longer available. This the the alternate version replacement part designed to meet the original manufacturer's performance and safety standards.
?️ Installation Instructions
Replacing your topside panel is a straightforward DIY task that typically takes 15–30 minutes.
- Power Down: Turn off the main circuit breaker to your hot tub. Never work on electronic components with the power on.
- Remove Old Panel: Use a thin putty knife or flathead screwdriver to gently pry the old panel off the spa shell. It is held down by adhesive.
- Disconnect: Follow the cord back to the spa control pack (the "brain" of the hot tub) and unplug the old connector.
- Clean the Surface: Use rubbing alcohol to remove all old adhesive and debris from the spa shell. A clean, dry surface is vital for a watertight seal.
- Route the New Cord: Feed the new connector through the hole and plug it into the same port on the control pack.
- Test Before Sticking: Turn the power back on briefly to ensure the buttons and screen respond correctly. Once confirmed, turn the power back off.
- Peel and Press: Peel the adhesive backing from your new Elite Spas panel, align it carefully, and press firmly for 30 seconds to ensure a permanent seal.
Pro Tip: Run a small bead of clear 100% silicone sealant around the edge of the panel after installation for extra protection against moisture in heavy-use spas.
