Partial blockage in accessory hose, Leak at hose coupling, Clogged upholstery tool nozzle, Diverter valve not fully engaged

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the Philips carpet cleaner.

  • Check hose for blockages: Detach the accessory hose and look through it. Use a flexible brush to clear any obstructions.
  • Inspect couplings: Ensure the hose ends and seals are intact and fit snugly into the ports.
  • Clean upholstery tool: Remove lint and hair from the tool's nozzle and brush area.
  • Verify diverter position: Some models have a diverter or selector for floor vs. hose. Ensure it is fully switched to the hose position.
