Why is my hot tub clicking?
A spa or hot tub that makes a clicking sound may be working just fine, but if the pump won’t turn on high speed, and all you hear is clicking, or the heater is not heating and you hear a clicking noise, they may be coming from spa relays or contactors.
Why is my hot tub motor making noise?
First, if the noise is a screeching, high pitched whine, the motor bearings could be failing. Bearings can be replaced, or if the motor is very old (more than 5 years old), you may consider replacing the hot tub motor. Second, if the noise is a low pitched, grumbling noise, the pump could be starved for water.
How do you soundproof a hot tub motor?
Place your pump on a hard, flat surface and on foam protection pads. Don’t place it near any walls. Use a rubber insulation mat to reduce vibration noise, prevent heat loss and protect your tub from damage.
Why does my hot tub pump not start?
After replacing the start capacitor, the motor started and is running. It turns out that Spa/hot rub AC motors like this have both a start and run capacitor, as do blowers on forced air furnaces and air conditioning units. If an AC motor like this won’t start, there’s a good chance it’s the start capacitor.

How can I tell if my hot tub motor is damaged?
Make sure that the power supply is active and that all switches are ‘on’. Use a mains tester to check that there is power arriving at the pump. If the pump makes a brief humming noise this will warn you that the pump has an obstruction or the motor is damaged. You will have to check the pump and motor.

How old is the motor on my hot tub?
That said, the hot tub and pump are over 9 or 10 years old, so it must be time for a new motor. I checked the voltage coming from the control panel to the pump (both high and low speed) and got 0.
