Possible Causes

Moisture inside motor or PCB, Damaged insulation on internal wiring, Water leak onto electrical components, Faulty ground fault detection circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug immediately. Do not bypass ground fault protection. Risk of electric shock.

  • Dry the unit: If the Husqvarna carpet cleaner was recently exposed to heavy moisture, allow it to dry in a warm, ventilated area for 24–48 hours.
  • Inspect for leaks: Check hoses, tanks, and seals for signs of leakage onto electrical components. Repair or replace leaking parts before further use.
  • Check wiring insulation: Look for nicks or cuts in wires, especially near moving parts and tank areas. Replace damaged harnesses.
  • Professional testing: Because ground faults are safety-critical, have a qualified technician perform insulation resistance tests and repair or replace the main PCB if the detection circuit is faulty.
