Insert the tool hook as shown and pull the jet out of the
housing. The jet should be facing up when this is done.
13. Troubleshooting Procedure
Remove the Factory Installed Jets
NOTE: A special tool is provided with the replacement jets that will allow you to remove the jets from the
whirlpool. This tool is also supplied with each trim kit.
Position the jet ball nozzle so it is pointing upward.
NOTE: The nozzle must remain pointed up or the tool will slip off.
Insert the removal tool, hooked end up, into the opening of the jet and hook the inside top of the nozzle.
Grasp the tool firmly and place your thumb against the whirlpool wall. Pull steadily on the tool until the
jet assembly pulls free of the hole. Be careful not to lose the O-ring.
Reinstall the Jets
NOTE: The jet O-ring must be correctly positioned, must be lubricated, and must be in good condition to
permit easy rotation and proper operation of the jet.
Install the O-ring onto the first shoulder of the jet. Lubricate the O-ring with silicone lubricant to prevent
noisy operation of the jet.
Carefully insert the jet into the housing, and lightly push and rotate the jet until it snaps into position. Do
not force the jet.
NOTE: When installed correctly, the jet should turn smoothly both clockwise and counterclockwise.
