My american standard jacuzzi tub doesnt work. It's plugged in, but the push button doesn't engage anything. It worked before I removed it to install ceramic tile around and under it.

These switches that are mounted to the tub itself are usually air switches when you push the soft button it puffs air into a solenoid somewhere near the motor causing it to activate the pump, and there is a possibility that the pump motor has a reset button on the end of it to kick it off if something would cause the pump to jamb, hair,toy, jewelry or whatever that somehow got sucked into the intake

replace switch

Trey, motor or pump is seized, have tech. take a look and repair.

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

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

Remove access panel make sure pump is plugged in some electricians put a GFI outlet under tub for motor make sure GFI did not trip. Next the switch is an air switch look for the hose going to switch is connected last you may need a new air switch which is common to fail

is this a new install? if so you may need to adjust the air intake. Or if you have kids they may have messed with the settings. If the air is closed all the way off....no bubbles.

check for power at plug in if power your vacume switch is probably out replace switch.
