Carpet cleaner leaks dirty water from the sides or back of the dirty water tank area

Safety first: Unplug the unit and remove the dirty water tank.

• Empty and clean tank: Do not fill past the MAX line. Rinse the tank and lid thoroughly.
• Inspect lid gasket: Check the rubber gasket around the lid for tears, warping, or debris. Clean it and replace if damaged.
• Check tank body: Look for cracks, especially near corners and the suction port. Replace the tank if cracked.
• Ensure proper latching: Reinstall the tank and confirm it clicks into place and sits flush with the body.
