Possible Causes

Loose pump mounting bolts, Pump touching cabinet or plumbing, Worn pump motor bearings, Loose equipment bay panels

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before tightening or moving components.

  • Check pump mounts: Verify that jet pumps and circulation pump are securely bolted to their mounting bases with rubber isolation pads intact.
  • Isolate plumbing: Ensure PVC plumbing is not rigidly pressing against the cabinet; add foam or padding where needed.
  • Tighten panels: Secure any loose cabinet screws or clips.

If noise persists and seems internal to the motor, the pump may need replacement.
