My jacuzzi tub jets run for only about 5 minutes before it stops. The other problem is it isn't really off. I have to press the button so it doesn't come back on when the tub is empty. If I'm still in the tub I can get the jets going again after about 5-10 minutes of it being off.
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.
