Pump starts spontaneously without pushing the switch button

The pump seemed to work fine. About 2 min after stopping the pump it started again on its own. I shut off the breaker and turned it on again and it seemed fine for another 5-10 min. then it started again.

This sounds as if a relay has gone out on the circuit board. There really could be no other reason for the pump to come on without pushing the button.
You will need the model number of the control box so you can find a replacement.

SOURCE: My Jacuzzi jetted tub has stopped working.

other than your switch , it could only be the moter or connection to it. always make sure you have enough water in the tub before turning it on or you'll ruin it.

Did you try an electric motor rebuilder? $500 seems too high to repair a motor. Motors have either a capacitor or dual windings to get them started and it sounds like yours has failed. Get the numbers off the MOTOR and call a motor rebuilder in your area for pricing.

You have a bad neumatic switch. Or a small hole in the air line. Try pushing the button fast and hard to see if it will stay on. if so , it is a hole in the tube. if not it is your neumatic switch

Can you advise me how to increase the temp in my hot tub? Jazzi SKT338H. It seems to be working properly but I don't have the manual anymore

Either turn heat control dial up, or there should be a 2-button, one UP & another DOWN. Push UP button.
If a single Heat button, the push the button once, it will start to blink, then push again - if temp goes up, you are going in the right direction to get to your desired temp. If going down, then stop & wait till blinking stops - then push the heat button again, it will blink again, press again and now it should go in opposite direction.

Hi Jonathan,

Welcome to FixYa.

Your float may have got stuck or it's possible that you have water leaking into the bottom of the washer. In the bottom of the wash compartment, next to the drain you will find a plastic dome/mushroom (the float). You might need to rotate the bottom spray arm to see it.

Turn the washer on so that the pump starts to run, open the door and push down on the float. This should stop the pump running. When you let go of the float, if it rises back up on its own, then it's almost certain that you have water in the bottom of the washer. If this is the case please post back for further assistance. If the float stays down, then it may have simply got stuck.

Please try this simple test and post back with the results.

Regards,
BElectric

Pressure Washer Pump and Engine Stops Suddenly

The pump might be binding against the motor, causing the pump to overheat and temporarilly "seize up" and shut the engine off.
After cooling down for a brief period (5~10 mins) the engine can usually be re-started, but the overheating problem will keep coming back.

This happens when the pump either wasn't seated against the engine properly during it's initial instalation, or the pump housing wasn't machined properly and the PTO shaft is trying to drive the pump at a slight angle = excessive friction = overheating.

Try this:
1) Loosen the bolts that mount the pump to the engine just enough so that the pump can be wiggled slightly.
2) With the engine power switch in the "OFF" position, slowly pull the recoil starter rope so that the engine / pump completes about two revolutions. This helps to align the pump surface with the engine.
3) Lightly snug the pump mounting bolts in a criss-cross pattern, then slowly pull the recoil starter rope again to ensure that the pump isn't binding.
4) Finish tightening the pump mounting bolts in the criss-cross pattern (approx. 21 foot pounds torque).

The entire process should take you roughly about 10 mins from start to finish.

If this doesn't remedy your problem, then try running the engine for 20 mins with the pump COMPLETELY removed so as to isolate the components.
