Possible Causes

Failed start capacitor on Dynasty Spas jet pump, Seized pump bearings, Debris jammed in impeller

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before touching the pump or motor.

  • Listen for hum: Restore power briefly and try to start the pump. A loud hum with no rotation suggests a start issue.
  • Check for obstructions: With power off, remove the pump wet end cover if accessible and inspect the impeller for debris. Ensure it spins freely by hand.
  • Inspect capacitor: Many Dynasty jet pumps have an external start capacitor under a metal or plastic cover on the motor. Look for bulging or leaking. Replace with the same µF rating if defective.
  • Replace pump if seized: If the shaft will not turn or bearings are noisy, replace the complete jet pump assembly with a compatible Dynasty Spas pump.
