How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the Philips carpet cleaner and remove the clean water tank.
- Check tank valve: Press the tank valve over a sink. It should close when released. If it drips continuously, replace the valve seal or tank.
- Inspect control valve: Locate the solution control valve in the base. Ensure it moves freely and is not stuck open by debris.
- Verify settings: On models with adjustable solution flow, ensure the setting is not on maximum unnecessarily.
- Replace faulty parts: If the valve cannot be freed or sealed, replace the solution control valve assembly.
