We have a new Mirolin jacuzzi tub that was installed with the house when built 7 years ago. It worked great for the first 5 years and had regular cleaning, etc. With the arrival of our child, we didn't use the tub for a year or more (at least very much) and just recently when we ran it, the jets work but the motor and tub sound different. Also. the button would allow the tub to run for 10 minutes then stop. Now it goes for a minute and stops.
I filled it with hot water and soap to run a cleaning cycle through it but it doesn't seem to work any better. I checked the input for hair, etc and it is clean. I am presently letting the hot water soak in it and hopefully loosen up anything in it.
Any ideas? Is there a cleaner that is better for running through it?
Thanks in advance
Motor for tub does not run checked electric its ok.. is there a reset button and does there have to be water in the tub?
Because the system is exposed to humidity because of it's location, not running can cause the unit to devolpe rust or a form of scaling. Continue to run the unit and it should "loosen" up. But you might want to call a service company out to check it out anyway. A lot of these large appliances are not maintenance free so I would suggest someone come out and take a good look before it costs you money.

I have a similar situation. My house about 5 yrs old, we use to run the tub every now and again to clean it, but with the arrival of our first child we kinda forgot about it. :( So the pump hasn't been used in a year or so. When I turn the pump on it doesn't push any water out. I've tried to soak it for awhile that didn't seem do anything. I haven't let the pump run any length of time in fear that it would cause even or damage. Can you suggest anything else before I go down the expensive repair route.
