Air switch tube is not connected to motor jacuzzi model # bb66

If the switch is an air type switch check the tubing connected from the switch the control for kinks or pinched spots. This could be the cause of the problem. Hope this helps.

It sounds like you have a bad air switch located in your motor.
The air switch is what the air hose connects to on the back of the motor or on the box on top of the motor. The other end of the air hose is connected to the air button on the lip of the tub.
This is a latching air switch and when you push the air button it latches to send power to the motor. When the air button is pushed again it opens the latch in the air switch and stops power going to the motor shutting it off.

Your problem is most likely NOT the air button but the switch in the motor.

I assume you hooked the hose back up to the air switch on the motor.
There will only be a couple of things to check.
Make sure you have a good connection with the air hose to the air switch on the motor. Sounds like maybe the air switch may be bad.
The Air Switch is a latching air switch so if is broken then it won't latch when the air button is pushed.

Zit tubing connects to the underside of the air button to the air switch on the motor. Younshould not need anymore than about 5-6 feet. Available at your local hardware store. Ask for 1/4" hose OD

When you push the air button and nothing happens it could be the air button is bad or could indicate the air switch in the motor is bad.
pull out the motor and plug it into a wall outlet. take a straw and push it onto the air switch, where the air tubing was connected, and blow into it.
if the pump comes on then you will need a new air button on the top of the tub. If however it does not come on then will need the air switch that is on the motor to rectify the problem.

check the air tubing coming off the back of the motor. that tubing should connect from the air switch on the motor to the bottom of the air button on the top of your tub.
if it is not connected then it will never turn on.

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

The unit uses a air switch, you should see a plastic tube going from the switch to the power switch.

remove the tube at the power switch end, and then push the switch, you should feel air, come out.
If you feel air, then you must have a defective power switch.

Lots ot time a small spider nests in the tube or switch body. If you can detach the tube at the switch and run a pipe cleaner down to clear the web, that might help. also look for cracks or holes in the tubing.
