Could be a chunk of scale in the valve. Need to turn off water supply and take valve apart. If nothing is found, turn water supply on to give line a 'quick' flush and turn back off. If this does not help, you probably have an obstruction somewhere in the hot supply line and a plumber may be needed unless you are handy. Good luck.

I live in a mobile home park and that is what i do as the park handyman. The fastest way... cut the pipe with a recipricating saw and remove a long section. Knock it to let all the ice slide out. bring it into a warm shop for a while if you have to or run warm water through it. place a micro furnace near the sewer and use a heatgun if more ice is at the other end. Once things are clear, use two 3 inch fernco adapters and clamp everything back together. (i always keep a couple on hand just in case this happens) Make sure the lean is perfectly angled with no place for water to sit or this is what happens.

Replace a jet:

1. Identify the damaged or inoperative jet and make sure it requires replacement.
2. Follow the owner's manual instructions for removing the old jet. Some twist out by hand while others require a special wrench.
3. Find an exact replacement jet (through a pool or spa supplier) and install the new jet.

If it doesn't embarrass you, you could take the two nuts off the bolts holding the seat on, put the seat in a bag and take it to a Home Depot or Lowes or Walmart etc and match a new one to your old one. Good Luck

t sounds like you have a bad air switch located in your motor. The air switch is what the air hose connects to on the back of the motor or on the box on top of the motor. The other end of the air hose is connected to the air button on the lip of the tub. This is a latching air switch and when you push the air button it latches to send power to the motor. When the air button is pushed again it opens the latch in the air switch and stops power going to the motor shutting it off. US Parts Center
