A sticky air button can be one of two issues.

1. The Air Button can simply be worn out in which case it obviously needs to be changed. Measure the size of hole once it is removed and then you will know what size you need to reinstall.
2. The inside of the Air Button may have some calcium built up inside where the button goes up/down. If you can get the center button up and removed then you can take some soft emery cloth and gently run around the outside edge of the button and the inside of the air button body. This will gently remove any calcium deposited there and allow the button to go up and down easily.

Motor is either seized or something is stuck in the pump.

This sounds like you are referring to the suction cover. The fitting with all the little holes in it. These are removed by taking the two screws out of the face of the suction cover and removing it. You can then clean it and install it back the same way. US Parts Center

Cleaning your Tub There are several options for cleaning the piping on a jetted bathtub. The reason you have a residue on the bathtub surface when you are done bathing is because there is bacteria built up in the plumbing of the jetted tub. In order to remove that and reduce the amount of "yucky stuff" coming into the tub when using it, we recommend a regular usage of a jet cleaning product about once every couple of months Here is a link to the cleaning products I can find right now. There may be other out there that I am not aware of but I do know these products work well in all jetted bathtubs. US Parts Center

Just make sure the back is not clogged.

I have a Dressette, as well. It's one of my favorite parts of our house. You can't just buy a new ballcock, because the way it's plumbed, it's basically upside down from a modern one. I've taken apart the ballcock and replaced the washers or O-rings (I can't remember right now which it was) a couple of times. It usually works pretty well for a couple of years after doing this. It's little tricky to get it in and out, but once you do, it's likely that a good local hardware store will be able to provide you with o-rings or washers to fit the valve. Put the whole works back together with plenty of silicone grease, and there's a good chance it'll work for a while again. You can also try to bend the float rod so that the float can exert more pressure on the valve to stop the flow of water once the tank is full.Mark Anderson

Turn off the water at the supply (under the toilet, usually).Flush the tank to remove all water from the tank.Disconnect the supply from the tank.Remove bolt caps or bolt covers from where the toilet bolts to the bathroom floor.Remove bolts from the floor flange. When you lift the toilet up, you'll see a metal or plastic flange. If the toilet has been there for a long time the bolts may not pull out of the flange easily. In this case you may have to use a small hacksaw to cut the bolt below the nut.Put newspaper or an old towel on the floor so you can place the old toilet on it. Lift the toilet off the flange.Take the new bowl (assuming this is a two-piece toilet) and turn it upside down. Position the wax ring on the horn of the outlet. Install new solid brass flange bolts, mount them and position them on the centerline on either side of the outlet.Push the bowl down over the bolts and seal the outlet. The wax will squeeze down and seal.Put the new bolts, washers and bolt caps on. You may have to trim the bolt with a hacksaw.Once the bolts are secure, mount the tank.Make sure the gasket between the tank and toilet is in place. Then position the tank on the bowl. Run bolts through the tank and secure. Don't over tighten (the tank can crack).Hook up the water supply line.Connect the supply to the line on the bottom of the tank.Turn on the water.Let the tank fill.Flush once or twice to make sure the water control is properly adjusted.Put the tank lid on.Enjoy.ford performance chip.

I would start by replacing the switch and see if that takes care of you problem.

call back plumber to fix damage

There is no easy answer for your problem other than the flapper is not holding the water in the tank It is the only thing that keeps the water from going into the bowl when a toilet is not in use...on ANY toilet. Not all flappers are of the same quality, so be sure to replace it with the EXACT style as came with the toilet.

Not sure exactly what you mean. Are you saying you can't get the tank-to-bowl nuts off due to corrosion or that you can't loosen the two plastic locknuts that hold the Flushmate in the porcelain tank?

If the tank-to-bowl nuts are corroded and you can't turn them, you may have to use a hacksaw or reciprocating saw to cut them off and replace them with a new set when you remount the porcelain tanks.

Unless they were cross-threaded at installation, the Flushmate locknuts are pretty easy to remove.

If the Flushmate tank is leaking it will need to be replaced as they can't be patched. If a component is leaking, replacing it is viable.
