Jacuzzi wont start.. I hear
How old is the unit? If it is over five years old or so, the motor may be locked up due to a seized up pump. If someone left it running when the water drained out, or turned it on with no water in the tub, it is easy to burn out the pump. If it hums for a minute then quits, it is probably kicking out on the motor reset buton. If you have to push the red button on the motor this is prrobably the case, It sounds like a replacement pump will be required. You may be able to do this yourself if you can get to the pump. However many shortsighted builders sheetrocked around the pump requiring the removal of some wall sections to get to the pump. If yoyu attempt this yourself, be sure when you are done with the repair that there are absolutly no leaks. Even one drop per minute will cause rot under your tub.

American Standard Motor humms
I think there is a clear or black tube connected to the pump on the back of the black box on top of the pump motor, there is a nut where the tube attaches to the back, unscrew this nut and pull the tube out. If it is not the tube type switch, the pump motor power plug should be plugged into a black or blue control box, this box should have a wire going to the switch in the tub. If you have a buzzing noise, the pump or motor is probably seized, This is caused from lack of use or using bath oils or soap in the tub, When you get the pump and motor out to check, stick a screwdriver in the back of the motor(center of motor hole may or may not have a plug in it) and turn the screw, itshould spin freely with little or no resistance.

Air push button does not stop the runnig motor
Check the switch and air lines. You probably hear the switch clicking but not the pump. It probably goes into an air powered solinoid for the actual switch, away from the water. Ckeck those connections.

Air switch randomly comes on by itself and I have to leave the breaker off
This could be caused by a faulty relay or switch in the control panel. It is best to have a qualified technician inspect the control panel and replace any faulty components. If the issue persists after replacing the faulty components, then it could be a wiring issue and a qualified electrician should be consulted.

My American standard champion 4 sings after I flush it, while it I still filling. Then stops when filled.
Hey, One thing is that maybe there might be some loose plastic shavings in the fill line. From the Factory? or maybe was inside the water line going to the toilet when you connected the line to toilet. Shut off the water and get some towels and something to catch the water and disconnect it from the toilet and use bowl or what ever to catch the water and slowly turn it on and see if anything comes out. Maybe if it is in the line inside the toilet it might fall out by lightly tapping on the fill line inside the toilet to help it fall out. Just a thought when you said it "Sings" that sounds like trash inside the line going to the filler tube and bowl, hey try it who knows it might work. Okay
