Hoover carpet cleaner solution continues to drip from the nozzle after releasing the trigger

Safety first: Unplug the unit and empty the clean water tank.

• Clean nozzle and valve: Remove the nozzle assembly and clean the area around the solution outlet. If accessible, clean the solution valve seat.
• Check trigger return: Ensure the handle trigger returns fully when released. Lubricate the pivot lightly if sticking (use plastic-safe lubricant).
• Inspect valve seal: If the valve seal is visibly worn or damaged, replace the solution valve assembly.
• Store dry: After use, relieve pressure by squeezing the trigger with the unit off, then empty the tank.
