Water or foam being drawn into the motor area, unusual noise, possible mist from exhaust

Safety: Turn off and unplug the unit immediately to prevent motor damage.

• Empty dirty tank: Remove and empty the dirty water tank. Rinse thoroughly to remove foam and residue.
• Check baffles and float: Ensure all internal baffles and the float shutoff device are present and correctly installed. Replace any missing or damaged components.
• Reduce foam: Use only Kobold-approved detergents at the recommended dilution. If foam persists, add a small amount of defoamer to the dirty tank as per instructions.
• Dry motor area: Allow the unit to dry in a warm, ventilated area for at least 24 hours. If large amounts of water entered the motor, the motor may need replacement.
