SOURCE: Whirlpool pump only buzzes.
Well there are two things....You say "buzzes?" Like pump is running "humming" & not pushing water. That would be an "airlock" in the pump & it needs to be primed.
If it's "buzzing" & pump motor is not turning (Like it's froze) you might have a bad start up capacitor on the pump that needs to be replaced. Worst case scenerio entire pump needs replacement.
SOURCE: my whirlpool bath tub has three jets that work & 3 jets that are
The suction IS the water intake. it takes the water from the tub into the pump and the water comes back out through the jets.
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
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.

The bearings (or bushings) of the pump or pump motor have siezed, these can be replaced on some models but for the most part you will need to replace the pump and/or pump motor. and as where to get parts, i would suggest the outlet from wich you purchased the unit or another appliance outlet. Or if you feel up to the challenge, im sure you could find replacement parts on the internet: google, ebay, etc.
