Possible Causes
Cracked solution tank, Worn tank bottom seal, Stuck-open tank outlet valve, Loose hose clamp at pump inlet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the Husqvarna carpet cleaner and remove all liquid from tanks before disassembly.
- Inspect solution tank: Remove the tank, fill it over a sink, and check for cracks or leaks from seams. Replace the Husqvarna solution tank if it leaks when off the machine.
- Check outlet valve and seal: Examine the bottom valve and O-ring. Clean and lubricate lightly with food-grade silicone grease. Replace worn seals.
- Inspect internal hoses: Open the housing and check the hose from the tank seat to the pump. Tighten or replace hose clamps and any brittle hoses.
- Store tank empty: To prevent future leaks, store the unit with the solution tank empty and removed.
