Pump motor is very hot to the touch but still running.

Safety first: Do not touch the motor housing with bare hands if it appears extremely hot. Turn off power and allow it to cool.

Steps to mitigate:

• Improve airflow: Clear vegetation and debris around the Jacuzzi motor. Provide shade if exposed to direct sun all day.
• Check load: Ensure valves are not overly throttled and that the pump is not dead-heading against a closed valve.
• Verify voltage: Have a technician measure supply voltage under load.
• Monitor operation: If the motor continues to run excessively hot, plan for motor replacement before failure.

Consistent overheating shortens motor life and can lead to sudden failure.
