How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before removing the nozzle.
- 1. Clean nozzle thoroughly: Remove the nozzle / foot assembly and wash it under warm water. Use a brush to clean the suction slot and squeegee edge.
- 2. Inspect nozzle edge: Check the rubber squeegee / edge seal for nicks, warping, or wear. Replace the nozzle if the seal is damaged.
- 3. Check brush condition: Inspect the brush roll for uneven or worn bristles. Replace if the bristles are flattened or missing in sections.
- 4. Use proper technique: Make slow, overlapping passes and avoid moving too quickly, which can leave solution behind.
