RivieraPool Pump Bearing or Motor Failure

Spa makes loud grinding or screeching noises when jets are running.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn pump motor bearings, Misaligned pump shaft, Water intrusion into motor, Cavitation from low water level

Safety: Turn off power immediately to prevent further damage.

Check water level: Ensure the RivieraPool spa is filled to the proper level to avoid cavitation.
Isolate the noise: Run each pump individually to determine which RivieraPool pump is noisy.
Inspect pump: Look for leaks around the pump seal that may have allowed water into the motor.
Replace pump or motor: Noisy bearings typically require replacement of the entire RivieraPool pump assembly or motor. This is not usually repairable in place.
