Just moved in a house and the bathtub spa does not work at all. It has a button connected to an air line for a on and off switch. have tried water at different levels still nothing. Can not get to pump very easy.
You need to see if there is power to the pump 1st, there may be a switch somewhere thats not been switched on or it may have tripped out so check that. the air pressure switch maybe faulty or the plastic hose may have even come away from the switch.think of the basics 1st then look deeper, if you have power at the pump then it can only be the switch or worse case scenario a new pump.
you might have to remove the bath panel to gain access to the pump better?
kindly
Richie

Similar problem - mine worked for years and now will not even turn on when the button is pressed
I too have the exact same story. My might differ in that we purchased this house (new to us but built in 1978). I have no idea when the bathroom was remodeled but the tub is an older 4 jet style. Yesterday when I finally got around to looking into what was up with ours I came to discover that they never connected the electrical. Its run via GFCI breaker and all and 99% of the way done. So I figure what next and why not ... connected the electric and WOW Rooooooooooooooooooooooorm ... motor works great. Put some water in and driiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip driiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip ... ya well turns out the id10ts that installed it (years ago) broke both flanges behing the 2 jets. Ya the side jets that are away from the bathroom access wall so this evening I'm searching to see if Kohler Flange 67429 can be replaced without access to outside of the tub (as we do like our living room wall).
What I will say for your issue is that when you push the airpressure switch you typically hear a click (even if there is no power connected). This might help you diagnous if you have a vacuum problem. If you hear a click then move onto checking for power. Also I'll note that Kohler tech support is awesome in that they identified my tub model from a picture.
