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.
