Possible Causes

Blocked extraction nozzle, Worn squeegee lips on floor tool, Low suction due to leaks, Incorrect technique

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before cleaning tools.

  • Clean extraction nozzle: Remove the floor tool and clear any lint or hair from the suction slot.
  • Inspect squeegee lips: Check the rubber blades on the floor tool. If hardened, cracked, or warped, replace the floor tool squeegee strip.
  • Check suction: Test suction directly at the hose end. If strong there but weak at the tool, the tool is restricted or leaking.
  • Use correct technique: Make slow, overlapping passes and avoid over-wetting by limiting solution application.
