8.9 Pump Runs And Quits During Jet Mode
This is usually a problem of the pump overheating. The pump motor incorporates a ther-
mal cutout that triggers when the motor gets too hot. There is no reset for this condition.
When the motor cools, the thermal switch resets automatically. In some cases, a faulty
circuit can also cause this problem.
Diagnostic Tools: Clamp-on ammeter, voltmeter.
Suggested Spare Parts (Page 59): Circuit board, pump.
