This sounds like the air switch in the motor is not working properly. You will need to remove the pump from under the tub to access the air switch located in a housing on the motor.Replacement Air Switch will cost you about $20

SOURCE: Button on American Standard Whirlpool tub is stuck
most tub buttons are attatched to a small air tube thats connected to a switch. if that tube came off the button wont work. just look inside your access panel the tube will be there check both ends if one came off vut 1/4 inch off and reattach

Check the air vacuum switch and line as you may have a air vacuum leak. The button that controls the on and off to the jets is an air vacuum switch....It may have a slow air leak in the line or connections that is activating the on and off control

SOURCE: how do you remove the jets on an american standard whirlpool tub
The jets have a nut on the back of the jet. I hope you have access or else you will need to pull the tub for this job. Loosen the nut and squeeze aquarium grade silicone in between the tub wall and the nut, Tighten the nut, but not to tight. Let set over night fill and check for leaks the next day.

There is a crud buildup that I believe is causing it to stick. the button has been unscrewed and I believe we will have to pull the removable wall to get under there to replace it. is there some where I can find how to replace this (instructions and diagram) part?
