Clean water tank is difficult to remove or install; it feels stuck or does not latch properly.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before forcing any parts.

• 1. Inspect rails and guides: Check the tank rails and guides on the machine body for debris or damage. Clean thoroughly.
• 2. Examine latch: Look at the latch hook on the tank and the catch on the body. If either is cracked or bent, replace the affected part.
• 3. Check tank for warping: Place the tank on a flat surface to see if it rocks. A warped tank should be replaced.
• 4. Lubricate lightly: If plastic-on-plastic friction is high, a tiny amount of silicone-safe lubricant on the rails can help, but avoid overuse.
