Rug Doctor carpet cleaner solution continues to spray even when the trigger is released.

Safety: Turn off and unplug the unit. Empty the solution tank to prevent further spraying.

• 1. Flush the system: Fill the tank with warm clean water and run the machine briefly while manually cycling the trigger to try to clear debris from the solution valve.
• 2. Inspect mechanical valve: Access the valve body near the pump or handle. Check for debris or scale buildup. Disassemble carefully and clean internal parts; replace seals if worn.
• 3. Check solenoid valve: On models with an electronic solenoid valve, ensure it is not stuck open. Tap it gently while powered off. If it remains open when de-energized, replace the valve.
• 4. Adjust linkage: Ensure the trigger linkage fully releases the valve when at rest. Adjust as needed.

Warning: Continuous spraying can over-wet carpets and damage subfloors; address this fault before further use.
