SOURCE: jacuzzi nova 532 motor run's but won't stay running

If it has the little oval off/on button, it sounds like the control box or off/on button is bad. If you have access to the pump assembly, follow the pump power cord to the little black box (zip tied to a tube up high), this black box has a small cable that goes to the off/on button. unplug the pump from the box and plug the pump into the power outlet. it should run continuously. If it runs, you need a new control box or /offon button. Buy the off/on button first, as this button is prone to water getting into it, and costs less than the control box.

When I push the start button motor running but not stay on

Air Switch Repair
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.

Jacuzzi tub will not turn on button will not click on as usual

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

Jets won't stay running

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

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

I have a Jacuzzi whirlpool bath model U640 Espree 536 and it wouldn't shut off. I cut the air line off at the pump and nbow it won't stay on for more than a few seconds. Any ideas?

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.

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.

the buttons on most of the tubes are pressurized air when u push it sounds like a bad button or hose it could even be the little air sylenoid that clicks on and of when the air is forced against it when u press the button 1st check the hoses for leaks 2nd remove hose and verify the button works
