How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before working near the blower.

Steps to quiet the blower:

  • Inspect blower compartment: Remove the access panel and check for leaves, twigs, or other debris in the blower wheel.
  • Check mounting bolts: Tighten any loose screws or brackets securing the blower assembly.
  • Spin test: With power off, spin the blower wheel by hand. Roughness or grinding indicates bearing wear; the blower motor assembly should be replaced.

Do not lubricate sealed blower motors; replace the unit with a Jacuzzi-approved blower assembly.
