Leisure Bay GFCI tripping

I have a 2002 Leisure Bay Spa. I drained and refilled the spa last weekend. It ran for about 8 hours then the GFCI tripped. I reset it and it ran for about another 2 hours then breaker tripped again. Now the breaker will not reset. I replaced the breaker and still no luck. I looked at all the wiring in the electrical panel in the spa and don't see any obvious loose or burned wires. Any ideas? Thanks.

I would disconnect each motor or heater from your spa one at a time and see if one of them is the culprit. I presume the motors are each connected to the control board by a plug....

I appears that the heater is the culprit. I disconnected the wires to the heater and the spa runs fine now. How difficult is to replace these heaters?

Can't be all that hard. Its a normal wear and tear item. But all my experience is on our D1 Spa. Good luck
