Carpet remains overly wet after multiple passes; poor water extraction.

Safety first: Unplug before inspection.

• Empty dirty water tank: Ensure the recovery tank is not full and is properly seated.
• Clean suction nozzle: Remove the floor nozzle and clean the suction slot thoroughly. Remove lint and hair buildup.
• Check seals: Inspect nozzle-to-body and tank seals for damage. Replace worn gaskets.
• Use correct technique: Pull the cleaner slowly backward while holding the trigger, then make additional dry passes without spraying to extract more water.
