Jets won't stay running

The jets in our tub run if we hold the on/off button but won't stay running once we let go of the button. All air actuation seems to be working properly, the filter is not clogged in any manner, and you can hear the switch activating the pump (little click noise). Any ideas how to correct this? I'm trying to avoid taking off the pump to look at the switch box on top of it.

Sound like a bad switch. The contacts are likely corroded or broken.

SOURCE: Jacuzzi jets & heater,won't stay running,need electrical schemati

Actually you can ground them to the copper pipe...any piece of metal material that comes in contact with the earth...hence the word ground....so water supply line or if you ran conduit..and a receptacle box (metal...) you could ground it to that....'

I hope this helps...good luck...thanks for rating my effort...the Fang.

SOURCE: Whirlpool tub not cutting off.

First I would remove the switch hose from the pump. Pinch the end of the hose over and hold it in place with a piece of tape. Depress the button and hold. If the button has little to no resistance then there is a hole in the air line which is causing enough air to leak that there is not enough force to activate the switch. If that is not the problem then just consider leaving the switch in the hole on the tub surface but adding a regular wall swich to the wall near the tub. This move the switch action from the tub to the wall. This a really cheap solution compared to getting a new switch mechanism which is what is broken for about $200.

SOURCE: We've had a whirlpool tub with jets for 2 years.

check behind the access door for a air tube that goes from motor switch to button if either side has come off you have to re attach it just cut off 1/4 inch of the tube before you do. that will make it fit tighter

SOURCE: Jacuzzi whirlpool, air on/off button on tub

If it is a air button that pushes in and comes back up, there is a good chance that the switch (which is mounted on the pump/motor) is bad. If the switch is a touch button on a key pad, the problem is in the control box for the pump/motor.

SOURCE: jacuzzi whirlpool hot tub, flashes Fl-1 has new filters,

Sounds like a bad heating element. This is located in a stainless steel tube under or around the main control box behind the cover around the tub. It is not hard to replace but should be done by a pro. The part is avaliable online.

Maax tub

Some air jet bubbler blowers are designed to run for 5 to 10 minutes after you drain the tub to push all of the water out of the air channels. It should shut off on its own once it senses all of the water has been blown out. If it continues to run much longer than that, then contact the mfg for a service call. You have a warranty if it is a recent purchase that should cover it. Hope this helps!

Jets won't stay running

When you push the air button down it sends a column of air to the air switch located in the motor. When there is not enough air sent by the air button on the top of the tub it will not make the air switch "latch" in the closed position and means you need a new air button.
In your case the air button is sending enough "air" however when the air switch is not "latching" in the closed position that means the air switch is bad and needs to be replaced.
Most air switch's can be replaced with a TBS-310

Toro Power Clear 418 ZE Snow Blower won't stay started

The main jet of your carb is clogged and you need to open carb and clear the obstruction - spray carb cleaner on the bolt that holds the gas container to bottom of carb - also spray all the innards along with any tube that protrudes into the gas can.

Then using air compressor blow the sucker out and reassemble. That should do it.

WON'T TURN OFF PULLED AIR SWITCH BUT DOES NOT FILL BACK UP PRESSURE

So as I understand it, you have pushed the air button and the button stays down and does not return to the top of the button body.
if it is permanently pressed down and will not come up on its own even after leaving it sit for some days then you will need to replace the complete air button.
At that point you can reach inside the body of the button and grab it with whatever you can to pull it up so you can replace the complete button.
The air button body has thread running the complete length of it and has a nut that threads onto the body from the underneath to hold it in place.
You must get to the underside of the tub to unthread the nut off the body in order to remove it.
Once removed you can then reverse the operation and install a new air button.

RapidHeat In-Line Heater U395000 [ Bathtubs and Whirlpools,: My jacuzzi tub jets run for ONLY about 5 minutes b...

you have a bad motor - when a motor overheats there is a sensor inside the motor that will shut if down so as to not damage the windings and such. once your tub has cooled down for 10 mins or so it will turn back on. the fact that you can push the button multiple times just means that you are turning the air switch on the back of the motor on/off until you get to the point where the motor has cooled down and will turn back on. if you do not push the air button after the tub shuts down and you finish your bath then when the pump cools down it will come back on because the air switch in the motor is latching i.e. it is either on or off. Since you left it in the on position the motor will come back on once the motor has cooled down.
