How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before inspection.

  • Check tank seals: Inspect the dirty water tank gasket and lid. Replace if cracked or misshapen.
  • Clean floor head: Remove the nozzle window and clear any lint or hair blocking the suction slot.
  • Inspect squeegee: Examine the rubber squeegee blade on the floor head. Replace if torn or hardened.
  • Test suction: With tanks fitted, place your hand over the suction inlet. If suction is weak despite clear paths, the suction motor may be failing and require replacement.
