Jacuzzi tub will only turn off if tub is empty

Contact the Dealer and seek qualified tech service. Risk of electric shock/***** You should not take the risk but have a QUALIFIED SERVICEPERSON perform the work.

Hello Nellie1221,

Your TYPICAL Jacuzzi switch is a FAIRLY SENSATIVE
air-pressure activated button... (common trouble
(in my opinion)).

Quite A POPULAR REPLACEMENT item...
Put up your MODEL of tub on the internet to see
where your parts might be... or get your original parts list
(owners manual)

I would look to eBay (and AMAZON) ...
first before going straight to
Jacuzzi...

What type of jacuzzi tub are we talking about? indoor bathtub or outdoor hot tub?

You will need to have a technician from the store you purchased it from install a new switch.

To be up to code, you should have a GFI for your Jacuzzi to plug into and a GFI circuit breaker dedicated only for your Jacuzzi. I

If you already have it, that's great, but if not check with an electrician for installation.

The metal button on the top of the tub is used to turn the tub on/off. the metal button you see in the middle of the tub above one of the jets is the low water sensor.
the water has to be above that metal tab, you have to be in the tub and then touch the metal button on the top of the tub to turn it on.
this system uses the electrical current from our bodies to complete the circuitry and turn it all on and off.

sounds like you have an electronic system that operates the tub. Many times those get hit with a voltage spike and it burns up a relay on the circuit board and THAT is what make them come on at weird times.
You will most likely need a new control for your tub.

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.

there might be a fuse at the pump that has blown

check to make sure the pumps on and that its wired correctly and that all valves are open.

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.
