Carpet cleaner leaves carpets overly wet even after multiple suction passes.

Safety first: Unplug before cleaning the nozzle.

• Check suction performance: Follow the reduced suction troubleshooting steps (filters, hoses, tank seals).
• Clean nozzle lips and slots: Remove the floor nozzle and clean the suction slots and rubber lips. Remove lint and hair.
• Adjust technique: Make one slow wet pass (spray + suction), then several dry passes (suction only) without spraying. Avoid over-saturating the carpet.
• Verify nozzle height: Ensure any height adjustment is set correctly for your carpet type.
