Jacuzzi tub on/off bezel wont hold switch down

replace switch

Hello Nellie1221,

Your TYPICAL Jacuzzi switch is a FAIRLY SENSATIVE
air-pressure activated button... (common trouble
(in my opinion)).

Quite A POPULAR REPLACEMENT item...
Put up your MODEL of tub on the internet to see
where your parts might be... or get your original parts list
(owners manual)

I would look to eBay (and AMAZON) ...
first before going straight to

How do you turn this on? If it is an air button that you push, it may well be the air switch in the motor is bad. The air switch is latching so when you push the button on the tub it closes the switch and lets the power go to the motor. When the button is pushed a 2nd time the switch will open and shut off the power going to the motor.
An air switch will cost about $21 to purchase.

IF that is the one I recall, the switch is not connected to the tub. When you press the button, it sends air pressure to the switch under the tub to activate it;. You need to check the tubing and the switch

if you can remove the center bezel and trim ring, get some emery cloth from the plumbing store and run it on the inside of the button body where the bezel goes up/down and then do the same thing to the outside of the bezel. You probably have calcium deposits on it making it a little too tight for the button bezel to go up and down.

you have a bad motor - when a motor overheats there is a sensor inside the motor that will shut if down so as to not damage the windings and such. once your tub has cooled down for 10 mins or so it will turn back on. the fact that you can push the button multiple times just means that you are turning the air switch on the back of the motor on/off until you get to the point where the motor has cooled down and will turn back on. if you do not push the air button after the tub shuts down and you finish your bath then when the pump cools down it will come back on because the air switch in the motor is latching i.e. it is either on or off. Since you left it in the on position the motor will come back on once the motor has cooled down.

The button is worn out. It should be a relatively inexpensive repair whether you do it yourself or have a technician drop by.

I called a plumber. He said push the button all the way in, put some 3 in 1 oil on the inside (you'll see a little indent) every couple of months. Also push and release the button quickly. Cost me $80, and he even used my oil!!!!
