. Pump Runs And Quits During Jet Mode
This is usually a problem of the pump overheating. The pump motor incorporates a thermal cutout
that triggers when the motor gets too hot. There is no reset for this condition. When the motor
cools, the thermal switch resets automatically. In some cases, a faulty circuit can also cause this
problem.
Diagnostic Tools:
Clamp-on ammeter, voltmeter.
Suggested Spare Parts (Page 59):
Circuit board, pump.
Standard Troubleshooting Approach
Danger: Electrical Shock Hazard Exists!
High Voltage Present On Circuit Board. Use Extreme
Caution While Servicing Circuit Board.
Press JETS 1 button.
Does motor make a
“laboring” sound?
Is voltage from circuit board
to pump correct after pump
quits? Check for 240 VAC
(120 VAC for convertible J-
315 models) at recommended
test points.
Replace circuit board.
Is there sufficient
voltage connected to
hot tub. Check for
240 VAC ±10% (or
120 VAC ±10% for
convertible models)
Call an electrician to
fix problem.
Check voltage with
pump running. Is
the voltage 240 VAC
±10% (or 120 VAC
±10% for convertible
models) at test points
18 and 19.
Replace pump.
This is caused by
insufficient wiring
or the pump motor
drawing too much
current. Contrast
