When I press the button of my jacuzzi tub, it hums but the jets never start. I believe the motor has possibly corroded and it can't start. I have tried the following to fix it: 1) Fill the water with dish detergent and let it soak overnight, and 2) fill the water with vinegar and let it soak overnight. The motor is located on the right side of the tub and is difficult to access. I once spoke with someone at GE who said that a screwdriver may help turn the motor to get it started. If so, then I need to know how to disassemble the motor.

Turning the motor manually (with a wrench in my case (Jacuzzi Magnum Plus)) worked for me, now the pump is pumping happily away, thank you!

It is a GE 2425E-LHO
Here is a picture showing the motor on the right side of the tup between the tub and wall.
Here is a zoomed out picture of the above.
A new motor alone was quoted to me as $357 by a contractor. That's a lot to spend on something that I hardly ever use. I was wondering if this motor, like others, can be fixed by using a screw to turn the shaft and overcome any corrosion or obstruction. If so, then I'll try disassembling it myself.
