Right now you are having to turn it on/off by using the circuit breaker or just unplugging the pump right?
Is this a button you depress or an electric button like you would find on a microwave?
If it is a button you depress to turn it on/off then the problem is most likely the air switch located in the motor under the skirt of the tub.
If it is an electric button then it may be the control box under the tub that needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: We have purchased a whirlpool tub model #

Some jets you can stick your finger into the jet its self and move it in 360 degrees. Others have a notched round trim piece that when turned counter clockwise, will loosen the jet where you can manipulate it as described above. You will need to retighten it after your done so it doesn't end up the same way. If you have trouble, you may want to use a little spray lubricant on it so it will loosen.

SOURCE: I have a jacuzzi corner tub. The control panel

I would expect there is a Jacuzzi dealer in your town and I would guess he has parts. If you purchase parts locally, not only are you helping your neighbor but also, you will have the opportunity to pick his brain on tips to install.

Thanks for your interest in FixYa.com.

SOURCE: I pushed the on/off button on my whirlpool tub now stuck

The button is normally an air switch. It is attached to a hose that sends the air pressure from you pressing the switch to a pressure activated switch. This prevents you getting a shock since the wiring is at the motor.

First try using something that vibrates to free it up. Just make sure that it's not something that will scratch the button.

If that doesn't work you should have an access panel to the motor on your tub. Pull this off and look for a clear 1/4" poly tube going into an electrical device. Pull the tube off the pressure switch and blow into it to pop the air switch back up.

SOURCE: I have an American Standard

This may be a silly question but, have you tried to, as much of a pain in the **** as it is, tried to look through your, hopefully accsessable acsess panel to see if you can see the leak. I understand that it could be getting out around jets but, there are so darn many places it could be leaking. If you have inspected the jets and they seem to be sound and flush, I'd look elsewhere, for instance, how often, if ever, does the water get to the overfow? They can leak around their seal and sometimes will not be tightly seated. A question I have for you is, do you have drywall or something on the ceiling in your basement and, if so will you be taking it down because of leak. If you have planked floors, you may be able to get an idea, not guaranteed, of exactly where it is leaking which, could let you know which side of the tub the leak is on, hopefully, the one you can see. If it's not on the side you can see, and is a planked floor, you may be able to cut you a little access hole in the ceiling of basement, floor under tub. to see. This may or may not work depending on how the tub was framed and installed but, you would obviosly know where the drain is and could use taht for reference. Anyway, the rings of the jet will come out but, I would give them a good inspection and, if they look sound, it could be something else. How bad of a leak is it and, how long does it take for the leak to show up in the basement?

When I push the button on my american standard jacuzzi tub I hear the hum of the motor but jets don't come on

In my case I took the motor out and used a screw driver to turn the impeller in the front of the pump and the fins inthe back. Put it back together and it worked. I then used 2 tablesoons of dishwashing detergent and 1/2 cup bleach and ran it for 20 minutes to clean and degrease the impellers

Our "whirlpool" tub jets do

sounds like it may be either the air button or the air switch (on motor).
pull the pump and plug into an outlet. take a straw and blow into the air switch where the air tubing was connected. If the pump comes on then you know the button. If the pump doesn't come on then you will need to replace the air switch on the back of the motor.

Jetted bath tub has stopped working. Motor hums

look on the back of the motor there should be a shaft that you can try to turn to spin free because something inside the pump is blocking it. rate me if this is helpful.
