I have a 1988 Jacuzzi brand hot tub and I need a wiring diagram for it. I think I have a wire crossed because I cannot get the high speed motor to run.

• I have a Bionaire brand table electric fan.
  • It has a 3 speed fan motor.
  • The electric motor is a BM-122 Decomin brand 3 speed motor.
    • There are 6 wires:
      • Red wire.
      • Black wire.
      • White wire.
      • Yellow wire.
      • Gray wire.
      • Blue wire.
        • The motor has a 4mu 250volt capacitor.

• This fan has an oscillating grill with independent sync motor, and timer circuit.
• Something was wrong with the solid state circuitry (everything worked but the motor!), but a quick test of the motor indicated it does work.
• The motor uses a start and run capacitor.
• I decided to change controls to a simple mechanical switch and fore go for now anything beyond 3 speeds.
• The printed circuit board shows the following connections:
  • Black wire
  • Blue wire
  • Yellow wire
    • Are respective for the:
      • High fan motor speed
      • Medium fan motor speed
      • Low fan motor speed
• I think the gray wire goes out to the oscillator motor.
  • The Red wire is marked as Line, for the power source.
• All wires are in continuity with each other EXCEPT RED is not with any other wire. How to Verify Fan Motor Wiring Connections
  • Checking the Motor and Capacitor Connections
  • Double check your connections using the fan wiring diagrams.
  • You should see that there is a separate motor winding for high speed.
    • The concern is that there is a capacitor for the motor.
    • So I'm thinking that the motor may have to start with the slower speeds first.
    • and not start in the high speed because the motor or capacitor has not been designed for that type of operation.

did you get 1 speed or 2 speed?,i think you got the wrong pump,you got the 1 speed,

yep,you got 1 speed,not 2,

The wiring diagram should show on side of motor.
Here is basic motor wiring:

Test each lead as shown in following image. In the case of 240Volt, the 2nd wire is not Neutral, but testing is same.

If you have 2 speed motor, then you will have switch or timer controlling the speed:

DO NOT PLAY AROUND WITH THE WIRING OF THIS 2 PEED.
you can cook the motor in just a few seconds != junk
yes WHITE is common RED is low and BLACK is high
A picture of the connections in the back of the motor is needed for further assistance

hi,

ok so when the pump is on high and the heater is running it doesent trip? you didnt say if it did. undo the heater leads so the pump is isolated completely. run the pump on the control centers gfci and see if it trips. if it does then try wiring directly - with an extension cord to a plug with a gfci in your house and see if it trips the gfci in your bathroom. if no trip inside house then bypass tubs gfci and run it with heater and pump through your bathroom gfci. if no trip then try and replace the tubs gfci, it gets pretty humid in the control center and gfci's have a semiconductor which which do fail after years of rough duty like that. if it trips the gfci in your house with the heater again it has a cracked heater element. craigslist always has old hot tubs and parts. you might have to buy a whole used old hot tub but that may be cheaper than a new heater box.

later

Sounds like you may not have a ground on the motor of the pump or a grounded outlet?
check the wiring on the motor on the cord to make sure there are no wires improperly attached inside the motor housing.

I think you had better call a repair service on this one, testing needs to be done.

you need to replace board

Kathy,

I think what you're looking at are the part numbers for the heater and control systems used in some Jacuzzi hot tubs rather than the Jacuzzi model number. I ran into the same issue and discovered through some cross-referencing on the web (jacuzzi parts suppliers) that this is the part number control unit made by Balboa. Odds are they were used in multiple Jacuzzi models.

My suggestion: Look here http://clearcreekspas.com/model_id.html to identify the control panel for your Jacuzzi and then follow the link to the correct manual. Some cover multiple models so you will need to know the electrical requirements of yours (120 V or 240 V?) and then check the layout of each tub shell to determine which model is yours.

I figured out mine is a Jacuzzi Essence Model 350 this way.

Good luck!

Hi JOEY JIGSAW,

I'm Harvey the Master Plumber.

Your problem is: 2ND MOTOR ON TUB IS HUMMING BUT NO WATER MOVMENT REPLACED WATER TODAY #1 MOTOR IS WORKING IN LOW AND HIGH SPEED BUT #2 MOTOR IS NOT KICKING ON

Definately an electrical problem. First check the switches, if you find a bad switch replace it. Check the wire connrctions. A bad connection will cause great frustration. If you've been carefull with the first two steps and it's still not working it's time to see if # 2 motor has siezed up. Do this only if you know what you're doing. It requires disconnecting the wires to the motor and applying 110 volts from another source directly to the motor wires. If the motor just hums and gets hot, it's time to replace it or take it to a small motor repair shop. It might be wise to check the Repair Directory for a repairman.
